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 49 for more information about using an
additional battery.
Carrying cases
Gateway has large-capacity carrying cases if you
need additional space for accessories or
supplies.
Hard drives
If you want to increase your internal storage
space, try replacing your existing hard drive with
a larger drive.
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 modules” 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.
Inkjet printers and cartridges are relatively
inexpensive, but they are slower than laser
printers. Using an inkjet color printer, you can
print pictures, banners, and greeting cards, as
well as documents.
