The PCMark Suite is a collection of single- and multi-threaded CPU, Graphics, and HDD test sets. This Suite focuses on Windows Vista application tests and is designed to represent a subset of Windows Vista consumer scenarios. The overall PCMark score is reflective 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.

Simulated Application Performance

The T400s scored very well in the PCMark Vantage tests and holds its own, even against more expensive machines. The notebook scored especially well in the Music, Communications, and Productivity categories of the test.

Thanks to our test model’s 128GB SSD, the T400s scored exceptionally well in the PCMark Vantage hard drive test, blowing all of the competition out of the water.
