Hello
I just recieved my new 1645 yesterday, but have been lurking this thread since it was first created.
Thought i might tip in with some testing of my own, so here goes:
Specs:
Windows 7 x64 Pro
Core I7 720qm
4gb DDR3 ram
16'' RGBled
ATI mobility 4670*
500gb sata
*I have installed latest ATI drivers (8.671-091104a-091527C-ATI) using the MobilityModder from Driverheaven. All the other drivers I've just had windows handle.
Performance settings:
Power plan - High performance
Powerplay - Maximum performance
1. Test on 100% charged battery system WITH the 90W AC Adapter @ Full Brightness, Wifi+Bluetooth On, etc. (Max Performance)
6396
sm2 2240
sm3 2773
cpu 2898
2. Test on 100% charged battery without the adapter @ Full Brightness, Wifi+Bluetooth On, etc. (Max Performance)*
7098
sm2 2539
sm3 3106
cpu 2937
3. Test on <90% charged battery without the adapter @ Full Brightness, Wifi+Bluetooth On, etc. (Max Performance)
7026
sm2 2489
sm3 3092
cpu 2930
4. Test on <90% charged battery WITH the 90W Adapter @ Full Brightness, Wifi+Bluetooth On, etc. (Max Performance)
6280
sm2 2215
sm3 2749
cpu 2695
So it seems I'm experiencing somewhat similar numbers as everyone else, atleast I'm seeing the same pattern with battery vs. adapter.
I have also been running some wPrime tests aswell, using CoreTemp for monitoring meanwhile. While running wPrime 32M with only one thread, it doesn't seem turbo boost is kicking in. Not according to CoreTemp atleast. Fault with CoreTemp, or shouldn't turbo boost be kicking in at all in a situation like that ?
On a side node. I'm experiencing sporadic flickering with the screen, when brightness is below 70ish %. Seems like the brightness switches between two different brightness levels very fast, if that makes sense? It's not very apparant, but now that I'm aware of it, it's very annoying. Anyone else experienced something similar ?
All things aside though, I'm very happy with my laptop so far
It's quite an upgrade from my previous 5 year old laptop.
