This is especially useful for rich media and gaming apps

It completed the iTunes encoding test (which measures CPU performance while converting 11 files from MP3 to AAC format) in 24 minutes and 17 seconds, about 3 minutes slower than average for a netbook.

We couldn’t get Futuremark’s PCMark benchmarks to run to completion (HP has a ton of stuff that starts automatically at bootup, and even turning all of it off didn’t make the benchmark happy), but the machine’s Cinebench 9.5 and 10 scores of 608 and 3,571, respectively, show performance that’s fine for the class.

Another option is the available Lenovo Constant Connect ExpressCard ($150), which, thanks to the wonder of Bluetooth, automatically HP HSTNN-IB42 Battery syncs your ThinkPad-resident mail file with your BlackBerry—even if the laptop is powered off.

The CPU is backed by 6GB of DDR3 RAM, expandable to 16GB using a second slot that you can access from the compartment. The platform supports Lenovo’s built-in GPS circuitry and WiMAX.

It also has a discrete ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4830 graphics chip with 1GB of dedicated video memory, providing good midrange performance for gaming and video.

Storage comes from a 500GB, 7,200rpm Seagate hard drive; you can also 411462-141 configure it with a 160GB solid-state drive (SSD) and a 250GB hard drive, or a pair of 160GB SSDs in RAID mode.

SmartCache allows each core to utilize 100 percent of available L2 cache, which speeds up 411462-321 performance. This is especially useful for rich media and gaming apps.

It also came populated with a whopping 8GB of DDR3 system memory and Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 280M graphics card with 1GB of DDR3 graphics memory.

Along the top of the screen is an integrated 1.3-megapixel Webcam that rotates 180 degrees. To the left of the screen is a blue, oval-shaped button that minimizes all open windows with a single press.

Beneath this button are the LED indicators, which run down the LCD panel.The sound wasn’t rich with bass, but it was better than most.

Text is sharp, colors are vibrant, and video playback is top-notch. We’re also impressed with the Altec Lansing sound system, which puts out impressively good—and impressively loud—sound for a system this size.
