Gateway NV55C54u

Gateway NV55C54u performed relatively poorly on PCMark07, a synthetic benchmark that measures overall performance. With a first-generation 2.4-GHz Intel i3-370M CPU and 4GB of RAM, the NV55C54u turned in a score of 1,429, a score that falls well below the 15-inch category average of 2,238, and was bested by the Toshiba Satellite L755D (2.3-GHz AMD Quad-Core A6-3400M processor, 4GB of RAM) by 117 points. On the OpenOffice Spreadsheet test, the Gateway took 7 minutes and 4 seconds to match 20,000 names and addresses. The NV55C54u's 320GB 5,400-rpm SATA hard drive booted Windows 7 in 53 seconds, beating the Toshiba L755D by 7 seconds and the category average by almost 9 seconds. The HP Pavilion g6 (49 seconds) was even faster, though.
The Gateway also did reasonably well during our transfer speed test, copying 4.97GB of files on its 5,400-rpm SATA hard drive in only 3 minutes and 19 seconds. At 25.6 MBps, this beats the HP Pavilion g6 (22.4 MBps), the Toshiba Satellite L755D (22.4 MBps), and the NV55S05u (21.3 MBps).
