Equipped with 8600M GT and 2Gb ram this multimedia power house aims to impress. http://www.madshrimps.be/gotoartik.php?articID=804 |
my first lappy review, what is missing, what can I do better in the future? |
I like it, compleet, good pictures, good benchmarks ... I have nothing to comment on (yet :p) |

Only thing that I'd like to be more elaborated are the battery tests, or rather "a" battery test, if possible a repeatable one. |
this test is repeatable ;) running 3DMark06 in loop until system shuts down isn't very hard:D |

in two different test environments: Power saving and at full speed. |

At work, we test batteries by loading them with a heavy duty resistor. A pc browsing the net will average at around X current, while heavy load will make it consume Y current. You can simulate X and Y situations by using different resistor configurations. Not exactly a real time benchmark, but you do get exact results this way. Downside, you might kill the battery when running it completely empty, you need an automatic stop circuit, for example when the battery voltage drops below 11V (no idea how much is really need to make the PC shut down). Nothing too hard to build, costs nearly nothing too. |
drop me a line when you're up to the challenge;) |
