Just got it today and installed several Benchmark tools.
I haven't updated my GPU drivers yet, so maybe some of my scores are low, but who knows.
I'll play/tweak it some more this weekend!
Anyways here's a side by side comparison of the NP9280 with the M1730.








wPrime

3DMark06 - Default setting run


3DMark Vantage - Defualt setting run

SF IV - Full screen - Default setting run

RE 5 - Variable and Fixed Default setting runs


Devil May Cry 4 - Default setting run

Far Cry
Need to figure out how to run this. I think I need the demo?
Crysis
Need to figure out how to run this. I think I need the demo?
My temps multitasking.

What's keeping my laptop cool.



I need a bigger desk!




One more thing....
I notice on CPU-Z my core speed varies? The multiplier goes from x25 to x12 and seems to stay on x16.
I laptop is plugged in and has a balanced power plan.
Any ideas?

EDIT: Is it doing this to Save Power or Conserve Energy?
Is this Normal?
Thanks
