During the company’s conference call to discuss third quarter financial results, Acer president Gianfranco Lanci said the newly-acquired computer maker Gateway will launch a new complete line of notebook computers during the first quarter of 2008 in an effort to rejuvenate its business. According to Lanci, Gateway sells mainly desktop systems in the United States, and needs to better address the faster-growing notebook market segment. However, Gateways’s product lineup won’t be changing before the first quarter, since the companies still have to complete their integration, then work on getting new products into retail and distribution channels.
