Mid-size laptop: The Gateway M-1624 is a mid-size laptop, with above-average processing power and everything most people need for basic computing, entertainment and online communication. This model has premium features including powerful dual-core processing, a double-layer DVD drive, LabelFlash technology, a built-in webcam and Windows Vista Home Premium.

Dual core/64-bit processing: The 2GHz Turion 64 X2 TL-60 has two processing engines that work in tandem, providing much more power than standard 2GHz processors. This processor is also capable of processing 64 bits of information at once, twice as much as standard 32-bit processors. AMD PowerNow! technology enhances mobile performance and extends battery life.

• This laptop features 2GB of DDR2 system memory—enough for all but the most demanding users, gamers and multimedia professionals. DDR2 is slightly faster than DDR, the previous standard in system memory.

• AMD employs HyperTransport technology, which works like a fully-integrated frontside bus that increases bandwidth, reduces bottlenecks and enables processors to work more efficiently. The end result is better performance.

• Processors search for the same data over and over. L2 caches keep this data neat, organized, and nearby so it can be retrieved more quickly. This 1MB (2 x 512KB) L2 gives the processor a little boost.

Hard drive: This hard drive features a 250GB capacity—perfect for robust collections of music, movies and multimedia. This drive’s data disks spin at 5400rpm. The faster they spin, the faster the data is read and written.

Go wireless: Built-in 802.11g wireless LAN gives you a fast connection to a wide range of networks and peripherals. 802.11g is backwards-compatible with 802.11b, so you can connect using the two most popular wireless standards.

Double-layer DVD drive: Use this drive to burn DVDs and CDs to share your files, music mixes or home movies. This DVD+/-RW drive lets you record up to 8.5GB of information on just one double-layer disc.

LabelFlash technology: Laser-burn high resolution, images directly on DVDs and CDs for a scratch-resistant personalized label.

Widescreen display: This laptop features an Ultrabright™ 15.4" high-definition widescreen display with 1280 x 800 pixel (WXGA) resolution.

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit): This is the operating system for homes with advanced computer needs. And Vista Premium features the elegant new Aero interface. You’ll be able to use your laptop more effectively and enjoy new entertainment experiences—all with the benefit of added security and reliability.
