In order to come up with the new Gateway LT2016u, Verizon Wireless teamed up with Gateway to release a new notebook that would have the capacity to connect to the Internet without relying heavily on WiFi hotspots. Because with Verizon’s Wireless Mobile Broadband, as long as there’s a 3G signal within Verizon’s network coverage areas, you will be able to surf away your time.

Here are the specifications of the latest Gateway LT2016u:

- 10.1? high-definition WSVGA LED backlit TFT LCD display

- Extended 6-cell battery for up to 6 hour operation

- Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor

- 1GB RAM

- 16GB hard drive

- Digital media card reader (SD/MMC/MS/MSPD/xD)

- Optimized Dolby Headphone technology

- Two built-in stereo speakers

- Built-in digital microphone

- Integrated 0.3-megapixel webcam

- Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11 b/g)

- Ports: USB 2.0, headphone out, microphone in, Ethernet, and VGA

The Gateway LT2016u will run on a Windows XP Home Edition operating system. It is available in one color only–Night Sky Black. You can get this new notebook for $149.99 after sending a $100 mail-in rebate and agreeing to a new two-year contract. Monthly subscription for the Mobile Broadband will cost you $39.99 per month for a 250MB data package, where anything more than that will be charged $0.10/MB.
