    SAN DIEGO, April 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing to expand customer choice,
Gateway today announced options for increased processing power and "smart"
support tools, empowering clients to maximize their technology investments.
    With the addition of Intel's new Pentium III 700MHz processor with
SpeedStep technology, the Gateway Solo 9300 and Solo 2550 portables give
businesses and consumers more choices to meet their mobile computing needs for
high-performance at affordable prices.  Incorporating Intel's most powerful
mobile processor, Gateway's Solo notebooks easily handle computing and
graphics-intensive applications, such as viewing or downloading Web page
images, running multimedia-enhanced programs or multi-tasking.

    Powerful Support Tools Reduce Data Loss, Computer Downtime and Technical
Support Costs
    With Gateway GoBack restoration software, Gateway is delivering "smart"
support tools, empowering clients to maximize their technology investments.
Published by Adaptec WildFile, GoBack software can undo some of the most
common user errors, including deleted Windows or data files, changed system
settings and corrupt or missing drivers, significantly reducing data loss,
computer downtime and technical support costs.
    While all models come pre-installed with GoBack Standard, business clients
can upgrade to GoBack Professional, which offers enhanced features ideally
suited for business and education environments.  A valuable tool for computer
labs, libraries and other shared-computing settings, auto-revert minimizes
potential problems by undoing configuration changes made by end-users,
automatically returning a PC's hard disk to a pre-defined "clean" state.
Password protection limits access to key hard disk revert privileges and
proprietary files within the GoBack history.

    Powerful Portables for Businesses and Home Use
    The Gateway Solo 2550 provides the ultimate combination of value,
performance and convenience, with its integrated all-in-one design.  Combined
with bright displays, large hard drives and integrated DVD or CD-ROM drives,
the Solo 2550 is the ideal workhorse solution for businesses requiring a basic
productivity solution.
    The ideal system for advanced multimedia applications for the home or
office, Gateway's award-winning Solo 9300 gets a performance boost with the
increased processing power of Intel's most powerful mobile processor.
Featuring a 15.7-inch display, advanced graphics and audio capabilities, DVD
drives and a host of other leading technologies, the Solo 9300 is the ideal
platform for digital video editing, web content development and multimedia
gaming.
