LG R1-C001A9 Notebook Reviewed

LG-R1.jpg

The LG R1 Notebook PC has been reviewed over at Notebook Review. 'Starting with the CPU, we see the R1 employing the relatively new Intel Core 2 Duo T5600 operating at 1.86 GHz. Aside from a slower clock speed, the biggest difference between this CPU and the more expensive models in the Core 2 Duo line is the amount of level 2 cache. In the T5600's case it has 2 MB - half of what the bigger and better T7xxx series has. This is a great chip that is designed to hit a certain price point, but it will please almost anyone with its real-world performance.

In terms of measurable computational performance, the R1 calculates Pi to 2 million decimal places in 1 minute 16 seconds. This is a respectable score for a small notebook. FutureMark's PC Mark05 measures overall system performance and reported an aggregate score of 2855.'
