7. Halo Timedemo

You get the picture. Halo, with all the detail turned up, was very playable on the Mayhem G1. Halo is one of the most graphically intense games on the market, and it is impressive for a notebook to get 24 frames per second on the time demo.

Conclusion

At around $2000, the Mayhem G1 is reasonably priced for the power it provides. This notebook is a true desktop replacement, with good computing and graphics horsepower. The sub two-hour battery life, high temperature and eight pound weight are what we expect from a serious machine. If you want long battery life and lightweight portability, do not get the Mayhem G1. If you want to do gaming, video editing or Linux Kernel hacking on your notebook, then the Mayhem G1 is for you.
