Whole System Performance
Whole System Performance
For the overall system performance we use PCMark05 to measure the systems.
This is where the Dell really shines. The overall shortcomings for the Toshiba when compared to the Dell explain the feeling that I got when using the computer that it just wasn’t fast enough to run the OS the way it is meant to be. I wonder how the testing would change if the Satellite had XP Pro instead of Vista. We intentionally left out the gaming aspect of the comparison because the Toshiba couldn’t run the games we use to compare notebooks, but PCMark05 wouldn’t let us keep it from being implemented into the overall score.
