Cinebench R15 64-bit

Download from: www.maxon.net

Cinebench uses Maxon's Cinema 4D engine to render a photo-realistic scene of some shiny balls and weird things (we miss the motorbike). The scene is highly complex, with reflections, ambient occlusion and procedural shaders so it gives a CPU a tough workout. As Cinema 4D is a real-world application - used on films such as Spider-Man and Star Wars - Cinebench can be viewed as a real-world benchmark.

Battery Life

We completed three separate tests to assess battery life. Firstly, we ran Unigine Valley's benchmark continuously to stimulate a lengthy gaming session. This was performed at half brightness with WiFi enabled and the maximum performance mode enabled in Windows 8.1.

The next test was using PCMark 8's Coventional Battery Test. This simulates using web browsers, spreadsheets and other light non-gaming tasks that should give you an idea of how long the battery will last under typical conditions. For this test, we reduced brightness to minimum, the power setting to Power Saver mode, but left WiFi enabled.

Our final test was an idle test to ascertain the maximum expected battery life. We used the Power Saver power setting, reduced the screen brightness to minimum, disabled WiFi and let the laptop run at idle. We also disabled sleep mode and prevented the screen from switching off.
