Setup & Testing Procedures
When you first turn the system on you are brought right in to Windows 7. It is a pretty clean install although Lenovo has installed its smile dock and a few other programs.
Getting CPU-Z and GPU-Z installed we can take a look at what’s under the hood.
As you can see we have an Intel Core i5-2410M running at 2.30GHz and a GeForce GT 555M, which has a GPU clock of 753MHz.
We will be running this system through a full battery of benchmarks and tests. We have them outlined in 3 different sections below.
