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.

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
