work on four tasks simultaneously. And the installed 6 GB of memory delivers ultra-fast system response to effortlessly multitask and run the latest multi-threaded
applications.
Use the digital device deck, recessed into the SX's top, to hold your MP3 player, camera or other technology. And a photo
frame button lets you quickly go through your digital pictures, and an eject button for the optical disk drive makes quick work
of switching movies and games. At the bottom front is a multi-in-one media card reader for transferring files from your digital
devices, plus USB and audio ports.
While small in size, the Gateway SX is chock full of external ports, including both FireWire and eSATA connections. Enjoy
the next generation of video playback with the HDMI output, which allows a single cable to transmit uncompressed high-
definition video and audio to your digital TV or capable external monitor.
