BAPCo® Debuts MobileMark™ 2002

BAPCo® and MadOnion.com® today announced the release of MobileMark™ 2002, a new benchmark to evaluate notebook user experience by measuring both performance and battery life at the same time. Performance and battery life are among the top purchase criteria for notebooks users, yet no method existed for evaluating both criteria with the same workload.

MobileMark™ 2002 addresses the need for a simple to use and broadly deployed industry standard benchmark that can measure and report performance as well as battery life at the same time. Until now, notebooks have been evaluated on performance in the AC mode and battery life in the battery mode. MobileMark™ 2002 will allow notebook OEMs, IT departments, reviewers, publishers, testing laboratories and notebook users to evaluate mobile systems in today’s more realistic mobile environment.

"CNET Networks' product reviews team is committed to bringing comprehensive hardware and software reviews to the millions of readers of CNET.com and ZDNet Web sites, and Computer Shopper magazine. Notebook usage models have been rapidly evolving over the past couple of years. As the un-tethered notebook user population continues to expand, it is important to look at both performance and battery life at the same time in order to quantify a complete notebook user experience. MobileMark 2002 will enable CNET Labs to measure notebook computer performance in a truly mobile usage model," said Erik Johnson, Manager of CNET Labs in San Francisco.
