Performance
Our Gateway 450 XL review unit showed great performance scores in our Mobile Mark, 3D Mark and SiSoftware Sandra tests. In 3d Mark the Gateway 450 XL pulled ahead of both the IBM ThinkPad X31 and the Sony VAIO PCG Z1AP1 systems; no doubt due to the robust ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 video card with 32 MB of DDR memory. In our SiSoftware Sandra tests the Gateway 450 XL also lead the pack with a score of 4861 on the CPU Arithmetic Benchmark showing performance scores very close to that of an Intel Pentium 4M CPU running at 2 GHz.
