| Benchmarks and Settings | |
| MobileMark 2007 | Version 1.06Productivity |
We tested with BAPCo’s MobileMark 2007 using the latest version 1.06, which is suitable for Windows 7. The benchmark uses the following applications and creates a typical PC workload scenario:
- Adobe AcrobatReader 7.0
- Adobe Illustrator CS2
- Adobe Photoshop CS2
- Apple Quicktime 7.1
- Intervideo WinDVD 8
- Macromedia Flash 8
- Microsoft Office 2003 Pro
- Microsoft Project 2003
- Winzip 10.0
MobileMark also takes a break, which can be many minutes long, simulating a coffee break or similar event. In the end, we believe this is a powerful tool to analyze both application performance as well as battery runtime on modern notebooks and on all three Windows versions.
