Design Withstands Mobile Lifestyle; Premium Look Begs to be Shown Off
Designed for small businesses, home offices, students and consumers of
all types, the new Gateway NX570 Series notebook has a high quality
industrial design that incorporates an array of features that protect the
structural integrity of the notebook while enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
The Gateway NX570 Series incorporates a high-composite matte cover surface

sleek and clean look. The aircraft-grade, brushed aluminum palmrest
provides the strength of high-impact, lightweight metal to reinforce the
