What info is needed for a good review?

I just got my new A8jp and want to do a review... BUT I'm new (1st lappy ) and don't know what is required/waned for a good review.

?'s

1 - What do I run Super Pi to? What settings?
2 - How do I get temps?
3 - Where do you get those tables with multiple laptops benches against yours? Some people have them in reviews.
4 - Anything else?
5 - Is there a format to abide too or just write whatever?
6 - What is flex in keyboard? Do I gotta push on it? yikes?

Thanks.

 

Read Write a Review of Your Notebook first..

 

Id like to do a few in game tests with you beefdonkey.

Im not familiar with the games people use to benchmark.

If you could do like a hl2 stress test or any game test in a review or posted here Id like to do the same test with the 7700

There was a chinese fps comparison like this but I think a lot of shoppers would like to see this difference.

 

Stock settings benchmarks in Half-Life 2, Quake 4, Oblivion, or any other modern game of your choice with all driver settings and in-game settings carefully documented would be best, so we can kill the 'X1700 vs Go 7700' thing once and for all..

3DMark05, 3DMark 06 as a secondary objective.

 

Ive got hl2 ep1 and oblivian of those 4

 

I have HL2 and Quake 4. I don't know how you do a stress test, but I am working on a review for this site (if they'll have it ). I just played the single player of FEAR and Farcry with FRAPS as was suggested heres a little something

FEAR (all settings to medium, 1024x768, soft shadows off, and anisotropic filter to 4x (1024x768) Fraps says – 52.255 fps avg (11 min)

Is that kinda what you're looking for? Is that good?

Also have done Farcry, 3dmark01, 03, 05, 06, Aquamark3, PCMark05, Super Pi, and HDTune.

This laptop is pretty awesome. I have a few kinks I gotta work out, but its a keeper.




I think the 7700 may be better, but my clock and core are really low I think and don't know how to overclock them (no official ATI drivers support the x1700 mobility *gulp*.... yet ) WTF?

 

thats good enough

I will work on reproducing fear at those settings.

as far as drivers Ive never owned an ati card. But the 7700 is in the same boat as far as no official drivers.

What I did was use laptopvideo2go.com and the inf file.

Ive got to believe its exactly the same thing for an ati card its just a different site hosts it like omegadrivers.com or something.
