11. Benchmarks Under Windows XP

THG uses a mixture of synthetic and application benchmarks to obtain the most comprehensive and objective data on a notebook's performance.

We measured battery rundown time in two different scenarios. In the first case, we ran a presentation in an endless loop. This roughly simulates the usage patterns of a modern field rep who is frequently presenting sales pitches to customers. In the second scenario, we ran a game demo. The endless loop ran until there was no more juice left. Admittedly, gaming isn't exactly your standard Tablet PC application. Nevertheless, we thought it would be useful to see how this computer stacks up against a standard notebook.
