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

.
Batteries and automobile/airplane power adapters
If you run your convertible tablet PC on battery power for extended periods,
you may want to buy an additional battery so you can swap batteries when
necessary. See
“Replacing the main battery” on page 172
for more information
about using an additional main battery and
“Installing a secondary battery”
for more information about using a secondary battery in your
convertible tablet PC.
With an automobile/airplane power adapter, you can save battery power by
plugging your convertible tablet PC 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.
Drives
Use a diskette drive or USB flash drive for storing files or transferring files to
another computer. See
“Using the optional diskette drive” on page 152
.
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 261
for
more information.
Peripheral devices
You can attach devices (such as a keyboard, mouse, printer, monitor, or diskette
drive) to your convertible tablet PC.
Port replicators
Although you can attach devices directly to your convertible tablet PC, a port
replicator lets you make all of those connections at one time. When you travel
with your convertible tablet PC, you merely disconnect from the port replicator
instead of unplugging all the devices.
