Chapter 2: Checking Out Your Gateway Convertible Tablet PC
Accessories
To order accessories, visit the Accessory Store at accessories.gateway.com.
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 “Changing batteries” on page 82 for more
information about using an additional battery.
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.
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 91 for more information.
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.
A port replicator also provides additional ports and other expansion
features not included with your convertible tablet PC. See “Using the
Optional Port Replicator” on page 107 for more information about using
a port replicator with your convertible tablet PC.
