Gateway laptops are already known as a solid laptop choice from a reputable company. In fact, one Gateway model is marketed as the student's 'back to school' computer, weighing only 5 pounds, and the basic model is available for only $ 700 - those figures are hard to beat. But if you think you know Gateway laptops, think again - and check out their website for the latest innovative models.

Consider the Gateway Convertible laptop, for example - it offers the best of all worlds. The 14 inch screen swivels around and closes with the screen facing up, allowing you to write on it with a stylus. It transforms into a tablet, in other words, and the computer can receive information - notes or diagrams - without running a program. Think how convenient this can be in class or on the go. Gateway laptops maintain their competitive edge by offering innovative models such as this.

So consider Gateway laptops for your next computer purchase. These are relatively inexpensive computers - even the Gateway Convertible is only about $ 1000 - and there are several thin and light models that target the student market. You can look for Gateway laptops at your local dealer, or you can purchase directly from the Gateway website.
