Gaming benchmarks are run with the Razor 1.7 in both mains and battery-powered mode. Battery power forces the P M's clockspeed down to ~600MHz.



The immediate advantage of using a Mobility Radeon 9700 over a couple of M10s. 11,313 marks is impressive going from a 2.3kg laptop. The score drops down to a respectable 7,453 marks in battery mode. The percentage lead over a MR 9600 Pro 128MB also rises as the resolution increases. At the laptop's default screen resolution of 1400x1050 the Razor 1.7 scores 7,519 marks. That's 23.5% more than the Rock's 128MB MR9600 Pro's 6084 marks.



More decent performance in 3DMark03's default test. Not a great deal of difference between mains and battery scores. That indicates the test is highly GPU-bound.



SavRow's MR9700-equipped laptop is peerless against mobile competitors. Battery performance takes a significant drop, though.
