Our good friends at Cyberlink kindly supplied the software for our Bluray and conversion tests.
Cyberlink PowerDVD 10 is one of the finest solutions for the Blu-Ray experience on Windows and we found this software to work perfectly with this chipset. We tested with the Bluray Disc of Avatar, one of our favourite sci-fi films in recent years. We are using an Asus External BluRay drive for these tests.
23 percent as an average is a pretty good result. The Vostro is capable of multitasking even when watching a Bluray disc.
We then recorded the CPU demand over a specific set of time to get a ‘real world' rolling scale of activity. The low power Core i5 processor maintains the demand between 9% and 36%.
