HP nw8000 versus games laptop Toshiba Tecra M3
After IBM Thinkpad R50p and HP nw8240, our “test laboratory” graphic next visit (work) station of HP. The parameters are similar to those of the IBM Thinkpad R50p.To review more interesting, in a direct duel will Resisting HP nw8000, Centrino-winner of the battle – Toshiba Tecra M3. I miss the description of the qualities of individual series of major manufacturers – both machines are very good quality and the highest grade for its time – strong, reliable, made very expensive and claims to be the top in its class. Housing, design and ergonomics. HP nw8000 body is pretty thick and this little uncomely, but it takes account of powerful speakers, CPU coolers and solid productivity professional graphics card, and … FDD. Toshiba Tecra M3 is a classic Japanese-style design – very elegant forms, which are preserved even in the latest dual-core Tecra. Cover the lid of the Tecra M3 is a metal arm and gives coldness pleasant to the touch. There are many holes in the bottom of Toshiba – better CPU cooling and powerful NVidia graphics processor. Both have a joystick laptop – great respect for the Thinkpad from IBM, but unlike his voluntary role in the awkward nw8000, Tecra M3 has almost approached the benchmark of the IBM Thinkpad. The keyboard on Toshiba also resembles that of the Thinkpad and is almost as enjoyable, while that of HP is a bit “dry” and rather tends to DELL. Toshiba is out with a little touchpad, which react less inert – if HP is almost everything perfectly. Certainly from the design and ergonomics battle won Toshiba, and expensive workstations like HP cheapest design and manufacture of HP nc6000, although there are many more solidity and strength. Processor and performance. Processors on HP nw8000 is a powerful Dothan Pentium M 755, with performance comparable to that of the Pentium 4 – 3.4GHz! This is perhaps the most powerful of Centrino 400Mhz FSB. The battle with the new Pentium M 740 (Dothan) of the Tecra M3 is with mixed success – in PCMark2002 nw8000 confidently defeated, while a new test suite, PCMark2005 victory is for the fresh and 1.73GHz processor on 533Mhz FSB. Graphics performance. Here now the real battle evolves aiming this article. Professional ATI FireGL T2 against the fresh and contemporary even today, GeForce 6200. On what he is capable FireGL T2 know from review of Thinkpad R50p, the results here are similar. In gaming tests 3DMark2001 and 3DMark2003, GeForce 6200 has a slight advantage and was expected in much contemporary 3DMark2005 advantage increase. Yes I did … defeat of the young GeForce 6200 by “Uncle” FireGL (core the Radeon 9600). However, the word says, full 128-bit bus ATI FireGL T2, so rare among laptops in this format.
