This is the passmark performance test 7.0 on this business model (SZ71 WN/C) using the dedicated nVidia GeForce 8400GS, in Speed mode.

Surprisingly low, when comparing to the built-in Intel X3100 card and to other Sony units.

Q you don't have to make multiple threads to submit benchmarks. You can continue to add them to your existing threads by going into Edit >> Advanced Edit. Or going to the right side of the screen and selecting the My reviews and Benchmarks button. There you can attach benchmarks to existing threads, or your review of the unit. I'll approve this one, but be mindful of this in the future.

I did that with other comps, but this Sony SZ model is actually having 2 configurations due to the 2 GPUs. So I was not sure as how to approach it, and being clear enough for readers.

Don't think I wanted to do it one scoop? Multiple inputs takes load of time

That's a good point. I don't think our database is setup like that. When I did the m15x review which had two GPUs in it, I put in comments in the benchmarks of the ones that i ran with the GPU and the integrated video card. So essentially they are all "benchmarked" under the same notebook, there's just different settings involved. It's okay to do it your way too if you'd like. More room for comments on certain settings.

I edited the post just as you responded. It would be nice if we can make some distinction within a benchmark for clear defined configurations - a sub bench per example?

No fun to make multiple inputs you know, detrimental to your fingertips ;-)
