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.

Gateway ID47H02u notebook system.  
 
Test results  
Figure 2 presents the median scores for the Gateway ID47H02u notebook system on the benchmark tests we  
performed. For both MobileMark 2007 Productivity and SYSmark 2007 Preview, we conducted one conditioning  
run. We then conducted three official runs. For the remaining benchmarks, we conducted three runs. For  
MobileMark, we used the median of the Battery Life scores to determine the Performance Qualification score. In  
the event of a tie, we chose the run with the higher Performance Qualification score. For PCMark Vantage, we  
used the median of the PCMark Suite scores to determine the sub-scores. In the event of a tie, we chose the run  
with the higher Productivity score. For 3DMark06 and 3DMark Vantage, we used the median of the 3DMark  
Scores to determine the sub-scores. In the event of a tie, we chose the run with the higher CPU score. There  
were no ties in any of our tests. (Complete test results appear in Appendix A.)

Test methodology  
This section details the methodologies we followed in testing the system.  
Measuring battery life with MobileMark 2007  
Antivirus software conflicts  
MobileMark 2007 is not compatible with any virus-scanning software, so we uninstalled any such software present  
on the notebook PCs before we installed the benchmark.  
Pre-installed software conflicts  
MobileMark 2007 installs the following applications, which its test scripts employ:  
Adobe Photoshop 6.0.1  
InterVideo WinDVD® 6.0  
Macromedia® Flash® 5.0  
Microsoft Excel 2002  
Microsoft Outlook 2002  
Microsoft PowerPoint 2002  
Microsoft Word 2002  
Microsoft Visual® C++ 2005 Redistributable  
Netscape® Communicator 6.01  
Network Associates McAfee® VirusScan® 5.13  
WinZip Computing WinZip 8.0  
If any of these applications are already on the system under test, they could cause problems with the benchmark  
due to software conflicts. To avoid any such issues, before we installed the benchmark, we uninstalled all  
conflicting pre-installed software applications, including different versions of any of the programs MobileMark  
2007 uses.  
Display brightness and power settings  
The brightness of a notebook’s display affects its battery life. Therefore, BAPCo requires that, before you test with  
MobileMark 2007, you do the following step: make sure the brightness of the notebook’s monitor is greater than or  
equal to 60 nits on a completely white screen while the notebook is unplugged and running on battery power. The  
measurement follows the standards from the Video Electronics Standards Association  
We complied with this standard for all the tests we ran by setting the notebook PC’s brightness as close to 60 nits  
as we could without going below that brightness level. We used the following procedure before we started each  
test. Note: This procedure assumes we began with the notebook plugged into the power supply.  
1. To create a completely blank, white screen, open Microsoft Paint by clicking StartAll  
ProgramsAccessoriesPaint.  
2. Open the Attributes by pressing Ctrl+E.  
3. Enter dimensions that are larger than the current screen resolution. For example, if the screen resolution  
is 1,280 x 800, type 1600for Width and 1200for Height.  
4. Click OK.  
5. Press Ctrl+F to view the bitmap image and render the screen totally white.  
6. Wait 45 minutes to allow the screen to warm.  
7. Unplug the notebook from the power supply, and measure the display’s brightness using a luminance  
meter in the center of the screen. (We used the Gossen Mavolux5032C.)  
8. If the reading is below or significantly greater than 60 nits, use the notebook’s keyboard screen-  
brightness-adjustment keys to bring the display as close to 60 nits as possible, then retest.  
9. Allow the notebook to run on battery power for 10 minutes, re-measure the display, and adjust the  
brightness up or down as necessary.  
10. Verify that the notebook saved the brightness setting by plugging in the system, unplugging it, and taking  
another reading.  
Note: If the notebook did not save this setting, use its power-management application(s) to set the  
brightness appropriately, and save that setting. If saving the settings is ineffective, use the keyboard

Principled Technologies, Inc.: Battery life and performance ratings of the Gateway ID47H02u notebook  
system  
 
brightness setting keys to adjust the screen to bring the display as close to 60 nits as possible. Next, note  
how many times you pressed the button to achieve the desired brightness. After unplugging the system  
under test, use the keyboard to set the desired brightness by pressing the brightness button as many  
times as you previously noted to return the screen to the correct brightness level.  
BAPCo AutoConfig Tool v2.4.1  
This tool supports three levels of configuration:  
1 . Only makes changes that are REQUIRED in order for the benchmark to run.  
2 . Additionally, makes changes that are RECOMMENDED for repeatable results.  
3 . Additionally, makes changes that help ensure best results.  
We choose Level 3 in the AutoConfig tool.  
The BAPCo AutoConfig tool makes the following configuration changes at each of the three levels:  
Level 1Required

About Principled Technologies  
We provide industry-leading technology assessment and fact-based marketing services. We bring to every  
assignment extensive experience with and expertise in all aspects of technology testing and analysis, from  
researching new technologies, to developing new methodologies, to testing with existing and new tools.  
When the assessment is complete, we know how to present the results to a broad range of target audiences. We  
provide our clients with the materials they need, from market-focused data to use in their own collateral to custom  
sales aids, such as test reports, performance assessments, and white papers. Every document reflects the results  
of our trusted independent analysis.  
We provide customized services that focus on our clients’ individual requirements. Whether the technology  
involves hardware, software, Web sites, or services, we offer the experience, expertise, and tools to help you  
assess how it will fare against its competition, its performance, whether it’s ready to go to market, and its quality  
and reliability.  
Our founders, Mark L. Van Name and Bill Catchings, have worked together in technology assessment for over 20  
years. As journalists, they published over a thousand articles on a wide array of technology subjects. They  
created and led the Ziff-Davis Benchmark Operation, which developed such industry-standard benchmarks as Ziff  
Davis Media’s Winstone and WebBench. They founded and led eTesting Labs, and after the acquisition of that  
company by Lionbridge Technologies were the head and CTO of VeriTest.
