To obtain as comprehensive as possible an overview of the system's performance, we used a combination of synthetic and real benchmarks.

This time, we modified the test slightly for the battery rundown time. Whereas we would usually perform this test under three different scenarios (presentation, DVD playback and gaming), this time we focused on examining the battery rundown time in conjunction with Windows Power schemes. By way of a benchmark for this test, we opted to use Mobilemark2002.
