You are browsing within the review sections of our forums. Content within these sections reflect consumer opinions of laptops. Our admins take the best and most objective laptop reviews and index them here to create a distinct selection of quality reviews with averaged overall ratings. Many of these reviews have benchmarks attached to them which allows for users to compare their laptop's performance with others, and ultimately enables us to provide a sortable list which at a glance show the fastest laptops amongst a variety of applications (gaming, video editing, web browsing, etc...). Help us build a better laptop database by submitting your laptop review.

I am confused here. There is HDTune mark at the beginning of this threat from GoHack and burst speed is slower then max as well . Isn`t the MAX speed actually showing the highest numbers from the test? I am just guessing here, Steve, really haven`t ran any HD benches b4 but as long as I am rerunning mine, burst is always lower than MAX value.

Anyway it`s still lot more faster than stock and that`s what matters the most at this time . Appreciate your attention though, Steve. Please, keep me posted if I am(we`re) doing something wrong.

Godspeed, -LtR-

You're guessing what?

Maybe you should read my 14 reviews on NBF before you say something as silly as that.

Yes your BURST speed should ALWAYS be higher than your max.

Still don't believe me? Maybe you should go to the official website (http://www.hdtune.com/) and read the part where it says;

Quote:
An important parameter of the test is the Burst Rate. This value should always be higher than the maximum transfer rate.
Quote:
A lower value is usually an indication of a configuration problem.

The T9300 is the one I have my eye on. $335 on NewEgg right now though, it would have to come down quite a bit.
