Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10, and therefore will only run under Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 is stated as a requirement) and Windows 7. This is the first edition where the feature-restricted, free of charge version could not be used any number of times. We are using the Entry preset.
We used the ‘Performance’ settings for our 3D Mark Vantage testing today.
These scores are very impressive for a notebook, especially the CPU score which reflects the great performance of these new mobile Sandy Bridge chips.
3DMark 11 is designed for testing DirectX 11 hardware running on Windows 7 and Windows Vista the benchmark includes six all new benchmark tests that make extensive use of all the new features in DirectX 11 including tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading.
After running the tests 3DMark gives your system a score with larger numbers indicating better performance.
Trusted by gamers worldwide to give accurate and unbiased results, 3DMark 11 is the best way to test DirectX 11 under game-like loads. We used a resolution of 1280 x 1024 at performance settings in this benchmark.

The G150 also scored very well in the latest iteration of 3dMark, rivalling many full fat desktop systems out there.
that 480 is a monster. I dont mind those keyboards, I know the reviewer didnt seem to like them, but they work well for me.
Nice looking machine, good all round spec for gamers.
Uk only delivery on their machines I take it?
We have the atom version of this, well it looks a bit different, and its very good. well made products.
@Seveish, Kobalt will deliver to most of europe and probably farther afield if you ask them nicely 🙂
@ Seveish, Kobalt Ship worldwide 🙂
Thumbs down Don’t buy from Kobalt Computers
No communications, no contact, plenty excuses, but no laptop and after 10 weeks time has run out. I cannot stress enough how disappointed I am with the level of customer service and disregard shown. After paying a large sum for a premium product and to receive nothing but excuses and empty promises this is totally unacceptable.
And it’s not like I can review the product as I cot nowhere near one, the review and pictures look good, but what’s the use of that when you’re 3K out of pocket… Keep well clear of these cowboys…
An Alienware would have been better than this…
