The new Gateway UC Series notebook line hits the sweet spot of mobile entertainment with an excellent pairing of a chic portable design, widescreen display and mainstream notebook performance. Gateway’s first notebook PC with a 13.3-inch widescreen display, it sports a small footprint and lightweight 5.3-pound design that is idea for travel and taking to work and class. Consumers will get the latest in wireless technology for an enhanced wireless connection with Intel WiFi 5100 Link (dual-band quad-mode 802.11a/b/g Draft-N) WiFi or Gateway 802.11 a/g Draft-N.

Performance-ready for the highly mobile consumer that needs to remain productive, the Gateway UC Series uses either Intel Centrino 2 or Intel Centrino Processor Technology, along with an Intel Core Duo, Intel Core 2 Duo or Intel Pentium processor. Customers can use the integrated 1.3 megapixel webcam to take and send video emails, voice over IP and still photos as well as enjoy live videoconferencing.

Entertainment on-the-go is fun and enjoyable thanks to the UC Series’ many features. The touch sensitive media keys provide quick access to content, and a slot-load DVD+/- with LabelFlash technology makes saving, labeling and sharing content easy. Video and other applications look bright and crisp on the UC Series’ 13.3-inch Ultrabright TFT LCD with a high 1280×800 resolution and Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD. It also has an HDMI connector for sharing digital media.

All of this innovation comes in a chic and elegant design featuring a glossy moonstone casing. Customers will enjoy the comfort of the black brushed aluminum keyboard surround and palm rest. Also, the UC Series has a round touchpad that is ideal for the way people navigate websites and programs today. Other features, such as the brushed aluminum barrel hinges, metallic trim and rounded edges and corners, show the attention to detail given to this fashionable new line.

Sometimes small size means small performance—but not with the Gateway UC Series Notebooks, which are a simple joy to use. Unlike some portables that cramp your productivity, Gateway’s UC Series laptops come with lots of memory (up to 4GB of DDR2 RAM), giving you ample power for multitasking and multimedia. And our UC Series boasts large hard drives (up to 320GB2), so you can keep your documents, photos, music and movies with you all the time, not back home on a desktop or external. Don’t leave half your life behind!

The flat, close-together keys reminded us of the Lenovo U110’s keyboard, minus the slippery finish. Those level keys are part of what makes the UC series look so stylish, and they’re comfortable to type on, too. We just wish they didn’t make such a clacking sound.

Above the keyboard is a glossy strip with touch-sensitive multimedia controls. They glow red (as does the power button, tucked into the left end of the hinge) and were responsive. We especially like the volume strip, whose red notches get brighter as you drag your finger over them. These controls are flanked by small speakers at either end of the strip.

The 7.7-pound MD will straddle the CPU line, with both Intel and AMD flavors available. If you ask me, the allure of the MC series was that it deceptively sold a lush style for an affordable price. The MD has a shot at polishing some of the rough edges I spotted in the MCs. Here’s hoping it does.
