Three executive-class laptops

As you'd expect from a machine powered by a Core i3 processor, the V130 lagged behind the laptops with Core i5 CPUs in my performance tests. Its 601.2 score on the PassMark PerformanceTest 7.0 benchmark was faster than only the Asus in Battery Saving mode. In real-world use, its response was more sluggish than the Asus machine's in High Performance mode, particularly when moving between open windows, and it showed fewer textures and other details in the Trainz simulations.
