The NV5 15.6-inch display models boast a 1366×768 resolution, while the Gateway NV7 Series will impress viewers with its image-enhancing 1600×900 resolution. Both provide a true cinematic viewing experience thanks to their 16:9 aspect ratio that is perfect for HD movies and video. Support for high definition audio and two built-in stereo speakers further enhance the overall experience. Also, the HDMI port lets customers use a convenient, single cable connection to deliver crisp high-quality visuals and high-fidelity audio to a home theater or external LCD.
Select models in the new Gateway NV Series feature extras for even more entertainment capabilities. Blu-ray video players are featured on select models in both the NV5 and NV7 Series lines for movie-viewing in incredible detail, paired with DVD and CD recording capability.

Latest Technologies, Including Easy-to-Access MyBackup
The Gateway NV line delivers the latest in technology and features, starting with reliable processing technology including Intel Core i3 and Core i5 processors as well as AMD Athlon and AMD Turion processors. The notebooks have up to 4GB of DDR3 memory that is upgradeable to 8GB, so performance is further promoted. The notebooks also feature media card readers that accept popular media cards (Secure Digital, Multimedia Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro and xD) as well as large-capacity hard drives ranging from 320GB to 640GB of capacity, so customers will be able to easily and quickly access, download, store and share their digital media content.
To protect these media files, photos and video while on the go, the Gateway NV Series includes MyBackup functionality that gives customers a way to quickly and easily back-up all important files. Easily accessible with the integrated software, customers can conveniently back up files to another location such as a USB drive, external hard disk drive, or another hard drive partition. The notebook line is incredibly easy to use with a multi-gesture touchpad, touchpad lock, and dedicated numeric keypad.
Ergonomics Meet Stylish Elegant Design
Designed with special attention to ergonomics, the Gateway NV line has a slim and sleek profile that is easy to enjoy and transport. The glossy-black interior houses a comfortable palm rest and keyboard surround. The intuitively recessed touchpad provides the right amount of feedback and control for customers’ web-browsing, photo-editing and extended typing. The multi-gesture touchpad further enhances control, allowing customers to scroll through documents, pinch to zoom in and out, as well as rotate and flip photos and other media files. The wide size of the notebooks provides room for an ample keyboard and dedicated numeric keypad.
Ideal for today’s style-conscious mobile PC users, the new Gateway NV Series models feature an elegant and modern design that is crisp and uncluttered. The systems feature a subtle wave pattern on the matte chassis lid. Plus, the combination of matte and glossy finishes create a contemporary blend of contrasts.
