Dell XPS 15 (L501X): Intel Core i7 840QM/2GB nVidia GT435m Review

PCMark Vantage is a PC benchmark suite designed for Windows Vista offering one-click simplicity for casual users and detailed, professional grade testing for industry, press and enthusiasts.

A PCMark score is a measure of your computer’s performance across a variety of common tasks such as viewing and editing photos, video, music and other media, gaming, communications, productivity and security.

From desktops and laptops to workstations and gaming rigs, by comparing your PCMark Vantage score with other similar systems you can find the hardware and software bottlenecks that stop you getting more from your PC.

PCMark Vantage shows considerable performance gains when compared next to the Core i3 laptop. We will look more into real world performance later, but for now the XPS 15 shows promise.
