Gateway is announcing two new notebooks at CES this year. The MD Series is a 15.6-inch spin-off of the popular 16-inch and offers a 16:9 aspect ratio display. This multimedia machine starts at $649 and comes with the same fashion-forward design as the MC Series. We were fortunate enough to get our hands on one early. Check out our full review.
The UC Series is the company’s first 13.3-inch notebook—a size we find particularly useful for mobile professionals. Starting at $749.99, the UC Series weighs just 5.3 pounds but comes packed with either Intel’s Centrino 2 or Centrino processor technology, or you can opt for a Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, or Pentium processor. A 1.3-megapixel Webcam is included, along with a slot-loading DVD multidrive with LabelFlash technology. You’ll find an Ultrabirght 1280x800 LCD under the lid and Intel’s GMA 4500MHD graphics inside. An HDMI port is also onboard for outputting to a larger screen.
