Andreas: BTW, another problem with laptops is that you can compare performance very poorly from one model to another because each has a different configuration (different motherboard, drivers, RAM, graphics etc.). That's why you are seeing so few of them. The situation is even worse than with OEM PC systems. I disagree COMPLETELY! This is the perfect benchmarking situation. You are benchmarking the systems AS IS. No messing with ANYTHING. You don't have to make sure drivers are up to date or anything! Simple, simple simple. You are benchmarking what costumers actually BUY! Not some custom system put together for benchmarking. E.g. REAL bottlenecks with memory, graphics etc. -fyo
