Batteries and automobile/airplane power adapters
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 63 for more information
about using an additional battery.
With an automobile/airplane power adapter, you can save battery power
by plugging your notebook into an automobile cigarette lighter or an
airplane in-flight power receptacle.
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 71 for more information.
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.
