It's not only where you're going that matters; it's also how good you look getting there. Our VR Series laptop brims with the vitality of an exclusive case design by graphic god Aldo Drudi, who also creates Valentino Rossi's stunning helmets. The unique look of this 11.6" captures the two sides of the VR personality. Against a nightsky black background appear the sun and the moon, with the 5 rays of the sun representing the 5 continents in which MotoGP, the world's premier motorcycling championship, is held. The visual scheme is highlighted by fluorescent yellow, one of Rossi's favorite colors, and is inscribed with Rossi's racing number, 46.

If you're watching Internet clips of MotoGP races, or viewing movies or looking through your photo library, you want them in high definition. And our VR Series laptop delivers. Its 11.6" HD screen is a Gateway Ultrabright™ TFT LCD featuring 1366 x 768 resolution with high brightness (200 nit). Plus, you can put your favorite flicks on a second monitor or big-screen TV with the ease of HDMI™. Dolby® Sound Room® lets you enjoy movies, music and games with an enveloping listening experience. Dolby Headphone provides personal surround sound, Sound Space Expander wraps sound around the listener, and Natural Bass extends speaker response by up to an octave.

Wherever you venture, enjoy the convenience of all-day mobile performance. Freed from the short-or even mid-term need for an electrical outlet, you'll be able to work and play from farther away. Thanks to the ultra low voltage nature of the Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor, the 6-cell battery on your VR Series Notebook can provide up to 8 hours of power1 on a single charge.

The Gateway VR Series Notebook provides revolutionary functionality to keep you in control

A built-in webcam. An integrated digital microphone. Bluetooth® 2.1 for easy syncing with your equipped digital devices. And 802.11b/g/n for ultracompatible connectivity wherever you go. The Gateway® VR Series Notebook keeps you hooked into the Internet, your e-mail and instant messenger conversations, and your social networks.


Thanks to its 21st-century engineering, our easy-grip VR Series laptop weighs just 1.4kg and is as thin as 22.1mm. Yet it features a full-size keyboard so you can pilot your PC with the agility of a motorcycle, an embedded numeric keypad for speedy one-handed data input—and a multi-gesture touchpad. Your machine's touch intelligence will let you navigate, scroll and zoom with simple pinch, rotate and flip motions with your fingertips. With the Gateway® VR Series Notebook, the track is yours.
