ViewSonic -Viewbook Pro

BenchMarks Continued:

SiSoft:

The Sisoft benchmark for processor efficiency did respectively well for a laptop. This benchmark did leave the light weight Netbooks in the dust and a few standard laptops too. Likewise the multimedia benchmark also shows us that the Viewbook Pro is up there with the rest of the PC systems of today.

The Viewbook Pro comes with a standard SATA HD and usually laptops come in a lower performance standard than your stand workstation hard drives since the RPM speeds are usually slower in order to conserve on battery power. The Viewbook Pro’s SATA HD reports to be about average, but what is not so average about the Viewbook Pro’s hard drive is it 320GB is size. Presently with the availability of solid state drives and their performance which leaves spindle drives in their dust as far as access speeds, anyone looking for speed over storage space can pick up a solid state drive and replace the Viewbook Pro’s SATA drive. Then if your still want the storage space pick up an external 2.5” USB case put the Viewbook Pro’s SATA drive in that and attach it whenever you need to move data off the solid state drive.

Using the Viewbook Pro for roughly a month now, we didn’t experience anything on the performance and daily use that led us to blade the processor for being under powered. If you compare any standard laptop to a home PC, the home PC will come out on top ninety-nine times out of a hundred due to the processors that are in laptops are a lower power consumption processor. There are a small handful of laptops on the market today that have a processor one would find in a workstation/desktop computer, but likely the battery life on those systems are roughly thirty minutes and on a select few there are no batteries at all. The SiSoft benchmark above shows us that the Viewbook Pro with its Intel ® Core™ Duo ULV SU7300 processor does come out in the middle of the field.  The SiSoft Power Management benchmark shows the power management of the processor which we can see a steady increase in comparison to INTEL’s previous processors.
