A very important part of overall system responsiveness is down to hard drive performance. We use two of our favourite benchmark utilities Crystalmark X64 Edition and HD Tach to rate performance from the onboard SATA drive.
Performance from the hard drive is pretty much as good as we could expect from a 2.5 inch mechanical unit, averaging around 110 MB/s in both sequential read and write tests.
The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. Measure your storage systems performance with various transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes. Several options are available to customize your performance measurement including queue depth, overlapped I/O and even a comparison mode with the option to run continuously. Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturers RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.
ATTO Disk Benchmark shows a peak performance of around 125MB/s write and around 170 MB/s read.
I love their keyboards too, my boss has one in work (not sure of the model number, but the keyboard is fantastic).
id rather have a less powerful laptop with a great screen and keyboard rather than the latest processor.
I hate the idea of the battery being inside the chassis. never liked that idea.
I like the look of their new carbon X1. I bought the original X1 on your review last time and I think its almost perfect. If they improve the screen on the carbon version im flogging mine off and upgrading to the new one.
WOW, that thing is thicker than the power brick LOL
