Gateway, following in stride of many others, announced a new notebook this week. Taking examples from both its MC and MD lines of laptops, they’ve revealed the TC series, a line of ultra-thin, HD laptops with cinematic 1,366x768 resolution screens.
These laptops will come with an Intel 2.0GHz Pentium Dual-Core Mobile T4200 processor, 4GB of DDR2, a 320GB HDD and will bring you the visuals, thanks to Intel’s GMA 4500M graphics.
These laptops will cost only $650 a piece, but there’s no word on as to when we can expect them.

Am I the only one who thinks it's goofy they're calling this a "high definition notebook." Barring the fact that compared to standard NTSC video, all modern computer displays are "high definition," they could at least use the descriptor on displays with full HD support --1920x1080. Sure this notebook supports 720P video at 1280x720, but so do most laptops from the last four years, when the prevailing resolution was 1280x800. I guess that it is 16:9 rather than 16:10, so some content will not have black bars.

I had to laugh at the 'Pentium' remark, I thought it was a Penryn?

This laptop is certainly no desktop replacement for those power users on the move but it should be great for lighter duties that say a college student or the average user would need it for. With the Intel GMA 4500M (not so extreme) graphics hardware acceleration you should even be able watch HD content with it, but how hard would that T4200 have to work to make that happen? Also it's kind of funny that "Pentium" Dual-Core T4200 is Penyrn based.
