This product is all about taking a convertible mainstream. It's not about being the thinnest, super light, $2,000 convertible you've seen.

Securing the data on notebook PCs is one of the toughest challenges for I.T. professionals, and with the proliferation of mobile computing across all business segments, the threat of data loss and network breaches through theft of notebooks has never been greater.

Our second-generation convertible notebook builds upon an incredibly successful platform that has positively impacted one-to-one education computing initiatives, government and businesses on a far greater scale than we had anticipated. We have made our new device more compelling with a stunning 14-inch widescreen, blazing notebook performance, advanced pen capabilities and cost structure that makes it more appealing for mass market use. We are very excited by the promise of what Gateway's innovation brings to the market.

I think the tablet is here to stay. I think it's going to continue over time to become a mainstream platform. But I don't think it's going to take off as quickly as some of the folks in the industry thought initially.

The big hurdle we have is just to get the education out there?get people exposed to the pen computing experience for the first time?and once that happens people get it immediately. If you have the right price at the right time interesting things happen.

Small business owners told us they're looking for systems that can stand up to all-day, everyday computing, that are flexible, easy to upgrade or re-configure, and that have the kind of back-end services and support typically provided to larger organizations. We listened to those customers and the result is our new S-Series -- a distinct line of products that have the technology, features, service and support they want at prices they'll appreciate.
