Reviews for the Gateway EC1437u
Source: Notebooks.com
Archive.org versionThe Gateway EC1437u is a solid mobile notebook. For the price, it delivers moderate performance in a sleek package. The complaints I found were really rather small and plaque most notebooks. Due to the video out options (VGA & HDMI), this would be a great notebook for mobile professionals or students that often have many presentations. It’s nice to see Gateway producing such an attractive product at a reasonable price.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD: Onboard (shared Memory) GPU built in the GM45, GE45 and GS45 chipset (Montevina). Because of two more shaders and a higher core clock, much faster than the old GMA X3100. Still not advisable for gamers (DirectX 10 games not playable or only with very low settings). The integrated video processor is able to help decode HD videos (AVC/VC-2/MPEG2) , e.g., for a fluent Blu-Ray playback with slow CPUs.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Intel Pentium Dual Core: The return of the name Pentium, though it is a Yonah core. In fact, it is a double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption.
SU4100: Entry-level dual core processor for slim and light subnotebooks. Due to the Pentium name, the CPU may have less power saving features than Core 2 Duo processors.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
