Just don't plan on playing L4D on this thing (unless you do 800x600 with all graphic setting on LOW). You might get above 30FPS at some points, but I'd guess the average would be around 20-25FPS, with dips to the low teens.]]>Oct 19th 2009 12:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/Oct 19th 2009 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/Oct 19th 2009 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/Oct 19th 2009 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/Oct 19th 2009 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/Oct 19th 2009 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/Oct 20th 2009 1:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/Oct 19th 2009 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/Oct 19th 2009 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/

Hopefully someone will comment on the SU4100 found in this laptop, and the SU7300 found in the cousin to the Gateway, the Acer 1810TZ.]]>Oct 19th 2009 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/Oct 19th 2009 12:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/

As for the graphics performance, the 4500MHD is actually very competent at playing back HD video even with the SU3500 (running Vista Home Premium), so a faster CPU and Windows 7 should be an improvement. Still, it's no ION for gaming, and even ION isn't THAT great. If you want a cheap gaming netbook/small laptop, it'll have to wait for ION2.]]>Oct 19th 2009 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/Oct 19th 2009 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/Oct 20th 2009 12:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/Oct 19th 2009 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/Oct 19th 2009 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/
If you want your laptop to stop working in a year, go ahead and buy a Gateway or Acer. If you want a PC that works, buy a Sony Vaio, a Lenovo, Asus or Toshiba.

Dell and HP are crap too; they've both let their quality control fall off a cliff during the last couple of years.]]>Oct 19th 2009 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/Oct 19th 2009 9:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/gateway-intros-15-6-and-11-6-inch-ec-series-laptops-ec58-ec54/Oct 20th 2009 12:02AM
