Accessories
Gateway offers accessories that can help you make the most of using your
notebook. To order accessories, visit the Accessory Store at

.
Batteries
If you run your notebook on battery power for extended periods, you may want
to buy an additional battery so you can swap batteries when necessary. See
“Changing batteries” on page 171 for more information.
Carrying cases
Gateway has large-capacity carrying cases if you need additional space for
accessories or supplies.
Memory
Large programs, such as multimedia games or graphics programs, use a lot of
memory. If your programs are running more slowly than you think they should,
try adding more memory. See “Adding or replacing memory” on page 259 for
more information.
Peripheral devices
You can attach devices (such as a keyboard, mouse, printer, or monitor) to your
notebook.
Port replicators
Although you can attach devices directly to your notebook, a port replicator
lets you make all of those connections at one time. When you travel with your
notebook, you merely disconnect from the port replicator instead of
unplugging all the devices.
A port replicator also provides additional ports and other expansion features
not included with your notebook. See “Using the Gateway M675 Port
Replicator” on page 267 for more information about using a port replicator with
your notebook.
Printers
You can attach almost any type of printer to your notebook. The most common
types are inkjet and laser printers, which print in color or black and white. See
“Installing a printer, scanner, or other peripheral device” on page 40 for more
information about attaching a printer to your notebook.
