That is to say, those are the results of the BatteryEater tool's Reader's Test.

If you take ridiculous measures to save energy and turn the screen brightness down to the minimum, turn off the WiFi and choose the Energy-Saver profile while squinting at your screen and not changing a thing, the notebook would run on battery power for a maximum of almost 10.5 hours. You can find the current version on the Nvidia website.Īs expected, the Optimus version helps out with increasing the battery life since the dedicated NVS 3100M graphics card is automatically turned off under light use. An update can make certain applications run better. Something worth mentioning: The Optimus driver installed in notebook (8.) is not the up-to-date version. For further information on the GPU and gaming, please refer to the review of the T510-4349-4JG model and our Gaming List. Because of the relatively similar results of the 3DMark test and because the T510 is really meant for business use, we didn't run any more GPU or gaming tests. Of course, the Lenovo Thinkpad T510 doesn't have a chance against the previously mentioned Dell XPS 15-which is furnished with a mid-grade consumer graphics card (Nvidia GeForce GT 435M). The CinebenchR10 Shading Test, interestingly enough, awards the Optimus model +24% over the other version. This explains the higher rating for the HDD in our test model in the PCMarkVantage benchmark.īoth T510 models perform relatively the same in the 3DMark tests. Another Seagate hard drive, the ST9320423AS, shows slower transfer rates in the HDTune Benchmark as well as longer access times. It runs at 7200 RPM and has a storage capacity of 500 GB. Moreover, the CPU is equipped with a controller that can address up to 8 GB of memory.įor all your data storage needs, the conventional Seagate ST9500420AS hard drive is at your disposal. And nothing stands in your way if you want to upgrade your RAM. Comparably to the 32-bit version of the OS, the memory is used efficiently in the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Professional. This memory comes in the form of a single RAM chip easily accessible through a maintenance opening. In contrast to the previously reviewed model, the model in review here comes with 4 GB DDR3 RAM-PC3-10700 (667 MHz) instead of the PC3-8500F (533 MHz). Hyperthreading allows for the simultaneous processing of up to four threads. With the Turbo Boost function, each core can be overclocked depending on CPU load. Other than that, both models are based on the mobile Intel QM57 Express Chipset and use a Core i7 620M CPU-a dual-core processor of the Arrandale processor family. Compared to the hardware of the previously reviewed T510-4349-4JG, the Optimus graphics card switching component was added for the sake of saving energy.
