    This is normal. Desktop drives use motors with belts or gears to push the tray out, but it is plugged into the wall all the time. On most laptops they use a spring loaded mechanism to push the tray a little bit.

    There are many benchmarking tools out there. 3DMark 01, 05 and 06 are just some which can show how goods a machine is from a gaming point of view. SuperPI show how powerfull the processor is.
