Gateway ID47H02u

Gateway ID47H02u Sporting a brushed aluminum-alloy lid and deck, metallic-colored keys, and a slick dark blue-tinted touchpad, the Gateway ID47H02u oozes style. The remarkable 0.2-inch black bezel surrounding the screen not only fits a 14-inch display in the same space normally reserved for a 13-inch panel, but it also adds a unique design flair.
Thanks to its thin bezel, the 13 x 9 x 1.1-inch Gateway ID47H02u is about half an inch shorter than many other 14-inch notebooks, such as the 13.3 x 9.8 x 1.1-inch ASUS U41JF and the 13.5 x 9.6 x 1.1-inch Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG. At 4.4 pounds, the ID47H02u is also lighter than the ASUS U41JF (4.8 pounds) and the TimelineX 4820TG (4.6 pounds). The HP Pavilion dm4t is a little thicker, but it has the same weight and depth, at 13.4 x 9 x 1.3 inches and 4.4 pounds.
With its 2.3-GHz Core i5-2410M CPU, 4GB of RAM, Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics, and a 5,400-rpm, 500GB hard drive, the Gateway ID47H02u provides strong performance that's good enough for demanding tasks, from playing 1080p video to crunching large spreadsheets.
On PCMark Vantage, a synthetic benchmark that measures overall performance, the ID47H02u scored a strong 6,322, well above the 5,596 thin-and-light notebook category average and the Core i3-powered HP Pavilion dm4t's mark of 5,124. However, the Core i5-powered Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG provided a similar score of 6,348.

Due to the Intel 2nd Generation Core i5 CPU's QuickSync technology, the ID47H02u was able to transcode an HD video in just 26 seconds, using Cyberlink Media Espresso. That's about 3 times faster than the 1:17 category average and the 38-second time offered by the HP Pavilion dm4t.
