Business Wire
The Battery Life industry-standard benchmark
since 1991 makes battery life comparisons even more
straightforward. Featuring a new battery estimator, where users can
switch among 3 test modes to quickly predict battery life without
performing a full run-down battery test.
BAPCo®, a non-profit consortium of leading PC hardware
manufacturers, unveils MobileMark® 30 Professional, the latest
release of the performance-indexed battery life benchmark for
notebook PCs that run the most popular real-world applications.
Key features of MobileMark 30:
- The new MobileMark 30 Professional contains the new quick
battery estimator in addition to the official FDR run-down battery
testing.
- No longer any incomplete runs. Estimated results in a fraction
of the total runtime.
- The MobileMark 30 Index provides an easy-to-understand
composite score that factors in both performance and battery
life.
- Expanded CLI (command line interface).
- Enhanced MobileMark’s Brightness Profiler - an exclusive
innovation in screen calibration utilities.
- Updated versions of the world’s most commonly used applications
without requiring additional installation or acquisition
costs.
- New workloads reflective of modern-day usage.
- Part of BAPCo’s curated online result database suite.
Since the inception of MobileMark, accurately and objectively
measuring battery life performance and responsiveness has been the
benchmarks’ core value. In addition to reporting battery life,
unique to MobileMark, the Index provides an easy-to-understand
composite score that factors in both performance and battery
life.
The new battery estimator allows users to switch among three
battery charge test levels to quickly predict battery life without
performing a full run-down battery test. This means there are no
longer any incomplete runs. This dramatically accelerates testing
before committing to an entire FDR run.
The enhanced Brightness Profiler, an innovation in screen
calibration utilities only in MobileMark, makes screen calibration
a breeze and assists in uniform and consistent image calibration
across various screen types and technologies.
Using only unmodified retail versions of real-world applications
for measurement, MobileMark 30 Professional features new and
updated versions of Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop without
costly separate purchases or lengthy installation time needed for
individual installation. This ensures fair and accurate comparisons
across multiple systems without worrying about test variations from
different application versions.
The new module has been designed to focus on the activities of
the modern mobile office user who seeks to remain productive while
on the go. These activities include spreadsheets, word processing,
presentations, PDFs, image manipulation, file compression,
decompression with encryption and file launches. The Professional
scenario is available today, additional future modules will expand
the scope of MobileMark 30.
MobileMark 30 results can be submitted and are part of BAPCo’s
curated online result database, where only peer-reviewed benchmark
results are designated as published. This designation provides
accuracy assurance publication claims and tender submissions by
open public access to official FDRs (Full Disclosure Report).
