(Please see related announcement on the Gateway Solo 1400, also issued today.)
"As a growing number of computer users work from home offices or in offices with wireless networks, they're more likely to need the freedom a mobile PC provides -- but they don't want to sacrifice performance or reliability for mobility," said Mike Stinson, vice president of mobile products, Gateway, Inc. "Gateway designed the Solo 5350 for its customers who need a single computer for unsurpassed performance and productivity in any environment.

The product is perfectly suited for small to large business users who need a reliable computer for working in the office or on the road.

Plus, the device provides high-end performance features including a Mobile Intel(R) 1.06GHz Pentium(R) III Processor-M, 256MB SDRAM and a 20GB hard disk drive.
The Solo 5350 combines productivity and entertainment features in a highly portable 1.36-inch thin, 5.14-pound(4) frame. The Solo 5350 incorporates a huge 14.1-inch high-resolution display, a combination DVD/CD-RW drive, advanced 4x AGP graphics and front-firing speakers, which make the system ideal for displaying presentations, listening to and burning music CDs, and viewing DVD movies and digital photography.
Gateway customers can rely on the Solo 5350 to keep them connected in just a few clicks at home, in the office or anywhere they go. The new notebook is offered with optional integrated wireless connectivity using Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b) technology -- a must for government agencies and students at educational institutions who need to connect to a wireless network. Mobile professionals can use the Solo 5350's integrated V.90 56K(3) modem and integrated 10/100 Ethernet and the two USB ports to maximize productivity while on the road.
