    Does anyone own one of these laptops?

    On paper they seem pretty good bang for buck, however the PC mark score is bizarre.

    Read this review - http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/laptops/0,39030092,49298712-2,00.htm

    I'm sure some T5800 benchmarks achieve almost twice that score.

    Either there is a severe bottleneck somewhere in the machine, or it's something to do with it running the 32 bit Windows in the test.

    Does anyone own one of these? If so, have you benchmarked it with 64 bit windows?

    Just ran PCMark05 on my PI-3540 running Windows 7 x64 and score was 4441; much more realistic then the 2380 cNet obtained!

    Either there is a problem with Vista (possibly slower vidoe encoding) or cNet screwed their test.

    Used 32 bit encoding as could not get PCMark05 to recognise the x64 version of Windows Media Encoder, otherise should be able to raise the score by a few points.
