PC Specialist Inferno 11.6 inch Laptop review

The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 24c – a comfortable environment for the majority of people reading this.

Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes. Load measurements were acquired by running Furmark and Cinebench together. Room ambient temperatures were 23c.

We measured results with CPUID Hardware Monitor software. The CPU was loaded with Cinebench in a loop and Furmark stress test.

The small chassis cooling system has to work hard to ensure the system is stable, which is why the noise levels are a little higher than usual. The Core i7 3630QM is a powerful QUAD core chip with hyperthreading, however the fan works well, maintaining a load threshold around 80c in our test environment.

We attached five diodes to the back of the chassis and measured the temperature (Celcius) after one hour of intensive work and gaming.

The underside of the chassis gets very warm under load and is rather uncomfortable to use long term. We would recommend using a gel based cooling pad between legs and machine if this is important.
