PCMark 7 includes 7 PC tests for Windows 7, combining more than 25 individual workloads covering storage, computation, image and video manipulation, web browsing and gaming. Specifically designed to cover the full range of PC hardware from netbooks and tablets to notebooks and desktops, PCMark 7 offers complete PC performance testing for Windows 7 for home and business use.

An exceptional set of results, and a higher overall score than the Asus G74SX which we reviewed last week – a 17 inch machine built for the gaming audience ! The solid state configuration of the Sony Z Series really helps to boost the overall score.
