Gateway Brings Color To You Lap

- Warner Crocker

Not really Tablet PC news here, but Gateway has been making some Tablet PC news lately. They’ve just released two new laptop lines (the M-Series and the T-Series) that are aiming at those that love their high definition and also a splash of color. You can have your choice of Blu-Ray or Optical drives (when will that silly standards issue ever get resolved). The M-Series also has an optional 1080p-capable display.

The other intriguing factor? Gateway is adding a splash of color to these new editions. Take your pick among slate grey, pacific blue, or crimson red. (Click on the thumbnail for a larger view.) Maybe we’re finally moving away from the very tired black, white, and sliver we’ve all become bored with accustomed to.

So, would having a color choice be something you’d look for in your next Tablet PC?

Color is fun, but really just something for the kids and college students...like me. I'd like my gunmetal colored tablet with Elais etched in cursive on the bezel. Been thinking about getting an old m7 or something similar and turning it into a DIY project, and I thought about adding color if I do decide to go down that road.

I'm not sure that color is just for kids and students.

Us old folks sometimes like a bit too -- I suspect that there might be some difference in color choices, but the dull corporate colors tend to fit people in the middle of the business world who don't want to stick out too much (and corporate buyers, for that reason) -- and there are a lot of we old folk who drive bright new sports cars and the like who no longer have that issue.

Now, the problem with color on a tablet may be in manufacturing -- the market is thinner and it may be difficult to manufacture in different colors without having a lot of left-overs.
