My Laptop Wrecks Your Desktop

Just a simple bragging session. I got 7.9 on all my ratings on a ThinkPad W500 in Windows Experience Rating! Surely this rivals modern day desktops running i7 quad processors and Nvidia GTX cards. Enjoy!

 

so? I can get 9.9, beat that!

 

lol, I still think my i7 at 4.0Ghz will eat your machine for a snack.

 

I think laptops and desktops use a different scale.

 

Nope, they all use the same scale.

 

There's a simple hack to make that score whatever you want. That's what you probably did.

 

There's a hack to change the windows experience rating? LOL! Show me, I don't believe it. If that were the case, I wouldn't even waste my time posting some phony ratings.

 

probably? Are you actually hinting that it his score's might be legit?

 

I beat you, and did it without being obnoxious and posting a huge image too!!!!!!!!!!!!11111scissors.



The sheer number of times I've had to post this on NBR is just plain sad. We need to institute a new rule: auto banhammer for anyone who provokes me into posting this darn image again.

 

that and a quarter won't even get you a cuppa.

:aack: try again (not impressed)

 

Getting a high WEI score is not impressive or something that should be used for computer comparison at all.

It can be easily faked, it really is bad at determining relative performance, and is just a bad benchmark in general.

Edit: That seems so fake.....give us your laptop specs......I doubt dual core and just 6GB of RAM will give you 7.9....

 

Fantastic. Another faux e-peen thread. Motion for a /thread.

 

I second this.

 

Wow, WIE is sooo bad it hurts my feelings.

 

who really cares about the WEI anyways? well, apparently too many people care about some phony benchmark....

 

Come back when you're using a real benchmark, like PCMark Vantage.
WEI does not have the best reputation.

 

WEI isnt really a benchmark. Its just used to determine how well Vista or Windows 7 will run on that machine.

 

Score 20,000 in 3dMark06 on that machine and maybe my respect for you will rise back up to 0.

 

LOL incase people dont know this that a WEI score wont go any higher than 5.9 because that is the max it can go, any higher than 5.9 is a hack but nice try

 

no he claims he did 7.9 in windows 7 which goes up to 7.9. only vista is limited to 5.9.

 

Windows 7 WEI goes up to 7.9, still does nothing for self esteem.

Oh but still the WEI is nothing but a joke it doesnt prove anything about a computer performance

 

I think you have the same name as me ... Rob?

Anyway I'm more clutch than you!

To the guy who started the thread. I'll pit my desktop against your laptop anyday.

Good score anyway. My laptop is 5.4 in gaming. 5.2 hdd. 6.0 ram. 6.0 processor... I'm trying to upgrade lol. Freaking ddr2, I oced it anyway so its k I guess.

 

SRY for the double post but I had to make sure everyone see's this guy's post! He's hilarious lol!:laugh:

 

Too bad using WEI to measure your computer's performance is like using your arse to measure the strength of an earthquake.

Also, -999 for smiley abuse.

 

my laptop will rape yours. thread close

 

Thanks to Newegg, on Friday, my computer will wreck yours. Check new specs.

 

show me your specs, and the price, and, for the same money, i get a better desktop.

but using words like "rape" in a public forum might not be that wise..

 

Well as far as i know you need an SSD in RAID 0 or something to get a 7.9 and i have seen i7 extreme 975 (clocked at 3.33.GHz) getting a 7.7

 

This is becoming pointless. Besides, WEI is not a very good indicator of a PC's performance.

 

I think it is looking for specific components and it doesnt recognise SLI from what i remember

 

Why did he even try this? Besides all other components his GPU is never going to score that high, simply because such a GPU isn't available for the W500

i feel bad for even posting in this thread and thereby probably doing exactly what the OP wanted

 

xml editing.

 

Why do people still take the windows user experience index seriously?

It is a poor indication of your computer's performance.

 

My $300 dollar netbook can pwn your notebook. I got 9.9 on all of my scores as well.

 

my m17x gets 9999 in everything but gaming performance its one so i guess i can't play games

 

well, cheating is wrong, and the OP cheated.

but WEI is perfectly fine for a simple, basic judgement of the performance of the system. saying it's wrong is wrong. WEI is okay, it shows the bottlenecks of the system, and thus helps where money is well spend on upgrades. it is, like all benchmarks on this whole world, not perfect. but it's simple, and accurate enough.

 

Parts of it aren't accurate. I've seen several times faster memory and HDD score lower on WEI.

I believe the CPU mark is ok though.

 

Desktop > Laptop

End of thread.

 

What's the WEI compared against? Nothing! Exactly. So what's the point in running a test like this? It would help if they had a comparision chart with actual speed and expected speed for your system. I still think anything like 3DMark will show more accurate results.

It's like trying to find out your credit score and they say something like 700 and you ask then okay is that good or bad and they tell you I don't know but I've seen higher and lower ones but they don't tell you how high or how low.

 

I thought 5.9 was the highest you could score?

 

You should probably read the thread before you post.

And for that "What does it mean to waste bandwidth" thread in OT a week ago: I present "Exhibit A" - this thread.

 

Run a real benchmark.

End <s>useless</s> thread.
