Battery life and performance ratings of the Gateway ID47H02u notebook system

Executive summary

Gateway® commissioned Principled Technologies (PT) to measure the battery life and performance of the Gateway ID47H02u notebook system. This system has a 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i5-2410M processor (2.30GHz) and ran the Microsoft® Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit operating system.

Gateway provided the test system. PT set up the system and executed all tests.

KEY FINDING

The Gateway ID47H02u notebook system produced a battery life score of 8 hours 44 minutes on the MobileMark 2007 Productivity 2007 test. (See Figure 1.)

We measured system battery life using the BAPCo® MobileMark® 2007 v1.06 Productivity 2007 test. We measured system performance using the following industry-standard benchmarks:

∙BAPCo SYSmark® 2007 Preview v1.06

∙FutureMark® PCMark® Vantage v1.0.2.0

∙FutureMark 3DMark®06 v1.2.0

∙FutureMark 3DMark Vantage v1.1.0

As Figure 1 shows, the Gateway ID47H02u notebook system produced a battery life score of 8 hours 44 minutes.

The Workloads section provides details on the benchmarks we used. The Test results section and Appendix A show the test results in more detail. The Test methodology section explains how we ran the tests. Appendix B details the system configuration.

Workloads

BAPCo MobileMark 2007 Productivity 2007

Our goal was to see how long the Gateway ID47H02u notebook battery would last running BAPCo’s MobileMark 2007 Productivity 2007 battery life benchmark test.

MobileMark 2007 Productivity 2007 is an industry-standard benchmark that provides a battery life rating and a performance rating based on common office scenarios. In our tests, we focus solely on the battery life rating. MobileMark 2007 Productivity 2007 includes applications and workloads specific to mobile systems. These include office activities like file and document management, data processing, and rich content creation. This module provides a score for battery life of the tested applications.
