Gateway M465-E (Intel Core 2 Duo)

Gateway M465-E (Intel Core 2 Duo)
Front Angle Keyboard

review

By Cisco Cheng

Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile: MeromOne benefit of a stable laptop design is that its accessories carry over from one generation to the next. In that sense, the Gateway M465-E is a rock, dating back to the Pentium M days. Of course, it's only fitting that Gateway's latest laptop gem gets a little help from Intel, in the form of the new Core 2 Duo processor (code-named "Merom"). The 2.16-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 processor is the M465-E's most significant upgrade this time around, and business professionals will reap the benefits of its faster speeds.
