    By how much do the differ? Benchmark scores can vary on each run.

    Also if you are looking at 3dMark 2006 they are not running it at default res of 1280x1024

    "All of the 3DMark06 scores for all of the systems listed above were run at 1280 x 800 resolution. However, due to the 16:9 screen ratio on the Studio 15 (1555) we benchmarked the notebook at 1280x768 ... which was the closest resolution available in 3DMark06 for use with the built-in screen."
