Reviews for the Gateway ID49C14u

60% Gateway ID49C14u 14-inch Budget Laptop PC
Source: Comp Reviews Archive.org version
Gateway's ID49C14u is a mixed bag. For some, it may be a nice solution because of its slim1-inch profile, compact 14-inch display and larger 640GB hard drive. Even with all of these features, it has one of the more annoying keyboard and trackpad designs on the market making it more difficult to use. As a result, it may work decently for some and very poorly for others.

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.

380M: The Core i3-380M is a fast clocked Core i3. The TurboBoost, AES, VTd, and Trusted Execution functions are deactivated in the i3-series. Therefore, it always clocks with max. 2.53 GHz (of course Speedstep is included). Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (GMA HD) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
