From the press release:

Gateway 3018GZ: Ultraportable Widescreen Notebook Starts at Just $999

The Gateway 3018GZ notebook PC sports a sleek and attractive design that’s just 1.2-inches thin and weighs only 5.25 pounds. Even though it is extremely thin and light, it boasts features of much larger notebooks. It includes a 14.1-inch WXGA Ultrabright widescreen display, which provides maximum viewing area for movies, digital media, spreadsheets and other documents. Unlike most ultraportable PCs, the Gateway 3018GZ has a full-size keyboard, so it’s easier and more comfortable to use.

Thanks to its integrated 802.11g wireless and 10/100 Ethernet, the PC is ideal for students, small businesses and consumers who need a PC for computing and connecting to a network and the Internet in various locations. The PC also features an Intel Celeron-M processor, ample memory and a large hard drive. The system is ready to access and store digital media with a CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive and integrated 4-in-1 digital media reader that accepts Multimedia Card, Secure Digital, Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro.

The Gateway 3018GZ has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of only $999.99.

Thin and Light Design with Premium Technology

Gateway has packed all the essentials of mobile computing into its new thin-and-light Gateway series PCs. The new notebooks — the Gateway 4024GZ and 4540GZ — weigh only 5.5 pounds and measure just over one-inch thin. Integrated 802.11g wireless connectivity allows users to connect to WiFi hot spots at hotels, convention centers and college campuses, as well as to wireless networks at work and home. Plus, Gateway customers can stay connected during long classes and meetings, thanks to the six-cell Lithium Ion battery that can deliver more than 4hours of battery life on a single charge. The processor is optimized for mobile computing; the notebooks feature either an Intel Pentium-M or Intel Celeron-M processor depending on configuration.

Equipped with the latest technology that lets computer users enjoy digital media on the go, the new notebooks each boast a large hard drive, a multi-format DVD+/-RW drive, and a 4-in-1 digital media reader that accepts Multimedia Card, Secure Digital, Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro. Also, the notebooks each have one IEEE 1394 and four USB 2.0 ports, so digital images from digital cameras and digital camcorders can be downloaded while on vacation or a business trip. The 15-inch TFT XGA Ultrabright display combined with Intel Extreme Graphics 3D results in bright, vivid images.
