![]() ![]() Tests like Cinebench and Geekbench stress your computer's CPU to gauge how well it would handle especially taxing programs that scale with available cores or compute power. This isn't to say that the Gateway can't handle everyday programs, just that a software glitch or memory limitation kept the test suite from completing. It failed to complete PCMark 10, which measures the performance on real-world productivity tasks such as running Microsoft Word. We ran the Gateway through the whole gamut of testing we put all of our laptops through, even though it's clearly not intended for the types of tasks some of the benchmarks measure. The Dell Inspi(3501) and the Lenovo IdeaPad 1 14 round out the list of comparable laptops for our benchmark tests. The $450 MSI Modern 14 has a wider variety of ports and much better build quality, but it costs almost twice as much. The Gateway also sports more storage than its closest recent competitor we have tested, the Asus Laptop L410. The Celeron chip is about the best you can get in this price range, although many competing laptops also use it. When pitted against similarly priced laptops on specs alone, the Gateway Ultra Slim starts to show some of its better qualities. Testing the 2022 Gateway 15.6-Inch Ultra Slim: Down in the Budget Depths The laptop’s documentation includes a 50%-off coupon code for a year of Kidomi, a subscription service for educational children’s media content. There are also website shortcuts to Walmart and Forge of Empires, the latter a free-to-play online strategy game. ![]() The laptop does come with some bloatware, including an advertisement-strewn Solitaire game. The red color is everywhere, broken up only by the logo and the footpads along the bottom. The current 15.6-inch Ultra Slim comes in three colors: blue, green, and the red of our review unit. This model of the Ultra Slim shares the same 15.6-inch screen size as its older brother, the GWTN156-1 we tested a couple of years back. It could suffice for that, but know that it feels as cheap as the price suggests, with the prime culprit being a poor, faded-looking screen. With such a low price, this laptop might seem like a fair option for a child’s first computer, or as an alternative to a similarly priced Chromebook. The 15.6-inch Gateway Ultra Slim (model GWNC21524, $229) reviewed here still has that iconic spotted logo proudly printed on its top cover. That was then, this is now Gateway computers (a sub-brand of Acer) are still around, but now relegated to mostly lower-end configurations sold at Walmart. It was an incredibly large and heavy PC tower with that instantly recognizable cow logo emblazoned on the front. One of this writer's first computing memories was booting up the family Gateway PC to play 3D Pinball Space Cadet.
