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...).

That is cool! We stickied your "8GB" thread in the Windows section as well.

cheers ...

ganzonomy · 07-25-2009, 02:49 PM

broke 1,500 on passmark 7

qhn · 07-25-2009, 03:57 PM

cheers ...

50 points spread for an IM. I gonna try this with different IMs, it will be an interesting exercise.

cheers ...

ganzonomy · 07-25-2009, 06:39 PM

i wanted to post my passmark file, but NBF won't let me

I wanted to as further verification.

How do I?

Jason

qhn · 07-26-2009, 12:36 AM

I usually just up date the comp's review in advanced mode, then add benchmarks from there. How did you do it? We can try IM later on to go through the steps together.

cheers ...

IM is simple. Just turn off your instant messenger when you're Benchmarking.

As for updating, I did the whole thing manually. Deleted the old benchmark and uploaded the new one.

qhn · 07-26-2009, 07:47 AM

Cool.

My thinking about IM is that I'd turn each one (Skype, Yahoo, AIM, MSN) on one by one then benchmarking. I am just curious about seeing which one of these would cause "more" drop

cheers ...

sounds like a great idea! I only did AIM b/c that's what I have on mine. Feels good to break 1,500. I wonder what an SSD will do (it's on my hanukkah wishlist)

qhn · 07-26-2009, 08:11 AM

It will be interesting to know as well. I heard and read so many contradiction regarding SSDs that I am holding off in getting one. Plus of course the price is still pretty high for me.

Make sure that you refresh the wish-list a few weeks before hanukkah, peoples tend to forget due the busy schedule

cheers ...

well I figure this:

the 160GB G2 X25-m SSD is $440 USD. I'm half tempted to get a T9900 just to max the dualcore, though that's not financially sound. I'm also half-tempted to dump in a q9100, but that'd void the warranty. So for now I think the best option is a high-speed SSD. I may also wait for the G2 X25-e drive to come out... whenever that decides to rear its little face.
