Performance testing

Futuremark 3DMark Vantage v1.1.0

Futuremark’s 3DMark Vantage v1.1.0 benchmark suite tests system GPU

DirectX10 performance, and requires either Microsoft Windows Vista® or Windows 7.

3DMark Vantage v1.1.0 includes testing of GPU-powered physics, DirectX10-specific

features, and procedural volumetric effects. Like 3DMark06 v1.2.0, 3DMark Vantage

v1.1.0 provides an indication of a system’s 3D gaming capability. For more information

BAPCo’s SYSmark 2007 Preview v1.06 performance metric tests processor

performance in the following four office workload scenarios: e-learning, office

productivity, video creation, and 3D modeling. SYSmark 2007 Preview records the time

the system takes to complete each individual operation in each scenario. For more

FINAL THOUGHTS

Choosing laptops for your business is a crucial decision – the systems workers

use daily must have top-of-the-line performance, long battery life, and the ability to

withstand damage as they are carried from place to place.

In our tests, the Dell Latitude E5420 and Dell Latitude E6420 not only offered

solid performance, but also proved more durable than their counterparts from HP and

Lenovo, withstanding three drops from a 29-inch height with no damage to their hard

drives. In addition, the Dell Latitude laptops we tested lasted up to 18.2 percent longer

on a battery charge than their competitors, which means up to an extra hour of time of

work or entertainment on the go.
