Measuring battery life
We performed the following steps to run the MobileMark Productivity 2007 benchmark:
1. Double-click the MobileMark 2007 icon on the desktop.
2. Select the Productivity 2007 test by highlighting it in the left panel.
3. Enter a name for this test in the Project Name field in the top right panel, and click Next Step.
4. If MobileMark lists no problems or warnings, click Next. If it does list any problems or warnings, close
MobileMark 2007, and correct the problem(s) before proceeding.
5. Unplug the AC power adapter. The test begins immediately.
6. The Productivity 2007 test is complete when the notebook PC has fully depleted its battery and is no
longer operational when running on battery power.
We executed the Productivity 2007 test three times on the system and took the median battery life run as the
representative score for that test.
Getting the MobileMark 2007 results
After each MobileMark test completed, we plugged the AC power adapter into the notebook PC and turned on the
system. MobileMark 2007 started automatically after the system booted, analyzed the test scores, and opened
the Test Results Viewer with the results from the last test.
To submit these results to BAPCo, we saved the test results directory. To do so, we performed the following
steps:
1. Browse to the C:\ Program Files\BAPCo\MobileMark 2007\results directory:
a. Select My Computer.
b. Select Local Disk (C:).
c. Select the Program Files directory.
d. Select the BAPCo directory.
e. Select the MobileMark2007 directory.
f. Select the results directory. (Note: The name of the directory for the Productivity 2007 results is the
name you gave the test in Step 3 of the MobileMark Productivity 2007 process.)
