Ordering accessories

Batteries
If you run your convertible notebook on battery power for extended periods,
you may want to buy an additional battery or a multibay battery so you can
swap batteries when necessary. See “Changing batteries” on page 34 for more
information about using an additional battery.
Carrying cases
Gateway has large-capacity carrying cases if you need additional space for
accessories or supplies.
Memory
Large programs, such as multimedia games or graphics programs, use a lot of
memory. If your programs are running more slowly than you think they should,
try adding more memory. See “Adding or replacing memory” on page 38 for
more information.
Pens
Order replacement tablet pens from Gateway. The convertible notebook does
not respond to other tablet pens, plastic pens, or PDA stylus.
Port replicators
Although you can attach devices directly to your convertible notebook, a port
replicator lets you make all of those connections at one time. When you travel
with your convertible notebook, you merely disconnect from the port replicator
instead of unplugging all the devices.
A port replicator also provides additional ports and other expansion features
not included with your convertible notebook. See the user guide for the port
replicator for more information about using a port replicator with your
convertible notebook.
Printers
You can attach almost any type of printer to your convertible notebook. The
most common types are inkjet and laser printers, which print in color or black
and white.
Inkjet printers and cartridges are relatively inexpensive, but they are slower than
laser printers. Using an inkjet color printer, you can print pictures, banners, and
greeting cards, as well as documents.
Laser printers and cartridges are more expensive, but they print much faster
than inkjet printers. Laser printers are better than inkjet printers when you are
printing large documents.
USB flash drive
Use a USB flash drive for storing files or transferring files to another computer.
