None of these notebooks were built for gaming, but it's still interesting to see how they perform in 3Dmark05 and Fear. We tested at a resolution of 1,024x768 in all our benchmarks (PCmark05 and Cinebench included) and Fear's detail settings were set to high.

You can see the full specifications of each notebook in this group test here.

Scroll down to see the results of our battery life test (Mobilemark 2007) - arguably one of the most important tests for a mobile user.

We're confident that by lowering the settings in Fear, perhaps to an 800x600 resolution or by reducing the visual quality settings to low, the top few notebooks would be able to render more than 30 frames per second - the magic number needed for smooth gaming.

In our Mobilemark 2007 (not 2005 as stated above) tests we turned off many energy saving settings like variable backlighting and standby settings to make a fair test. Brightness is set to 30 per cent while audio is muted.
