Consumers and students can use the convertible PC as a full-featured notebook that's ready for digital entertainment. The stunning 14-inch widescreen display is ideal for viewing DVD movies or digital photography on the go. Plus, the CX200 is offered with optional dedicated ATI MOBILITY X600 SE graphics with 128MB HyperMemory(2) or integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 supporting up to 128MB of shared memory, so game playing is incredibly realistic.

The software pack includes features such as the Ink Desktop, which makes the display instantly ready to accept handwritten notes, Ink Art for creating digital works of art and Media Transfer to transfer digital media files from another PC to the CX200.
In addition to student use, there are a wide range of home uses for the CX200. Remodeling projects can be sketched out on the digital display, while personal hand-written notes can be captured and added to email, digital photography and other documents. The snippet tool lets customers circle a portion of information found anywhere -- such as an online real estate listing or recipe -- and then be added to another document or sent by email. Plus, the system's new enhanced pen lets consumers do all this with uncompromising accuracy; the pen uses Continuous Sensing Technology(TM) to makes notes, sketches and diagrams more precise.
Further delivering an all-around environment for fun and productivity, the new Gateway CX200 comes with Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 operating system.

Enhanced Design is Comfortable and Durable:

Students often subject their notebooks to bumps during everyday campus life -- but the CX200 was designed to take the abuse.
