Date added: 07/08/2011 Tomshardware - Gateway Crams 14'' Screen Into 13'' Laptop

Thursday Gateway said that it revamped its ID Series and NV Series of notebooks with "stylish designs" and the latest in mobile technology. But the company also said that it managed to cram a 14-inch HD widescreen backlit LED display – with full edge-to-edge glass thank you very much – into a chassis typically used for smaller 13.3-inch models. We're not talking about clown car physics here, but close.

The laptop with the ultra-tight chassis is the Gateway ID47 and arrives in either an "Infinity Blue Liquid" or a "Brushed Platinum" design, depending on your fancy, both of which sport an aluminum cover with a stainless steel laser-engraved logo. There are also three tasty models to choose, ranging from $679.99 to $699.99. All three offer Windows 7 Home Premium, second generation Core i5 and i3 processors, 4 GB of RAM, integrated Intel HD graphics, Dolby Home Theater, HDMI output and more.

"The fashionable look and feel of the new Gateway ID Series is the perfect complement for today's on-the-go savvy computer user," the company said. "The sculpted edges, elegant blend of finishes and sleek form factor of the ID Series will inspire creativity for digital media creation and enjoyment as well as fluid social networking."
