![]() ![]() ![]() That Cloud Gate score is way sub-10,000 and Fire Strike is sub-3000 so it's not going to be much cop for intensive 3D gaming - though Sky Diver being above 5000 means it should cope well with most graphics-intensive applications, so could cope with most modern games up to medium settings. Those benchmarks are entirely in line with what we'd expect from this machine. Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor (1080p, Ultra): 10 fps (1080p, Low): 25 fps.PCMark 8 Battery Life: Would not complete.Cinebench CPU: 176 points Graphics: 27.38 fps.3DMark: Cloud Gate: 6119 Sky Diver: 5295 Fire Strike: 1394.Here's how it performed in our suite of benchmark tests: Our test Star Wars Special Edition Notebook came with Windows 10, an Intel Core i5-6200U CPU clocked at 2.30GHz, 6GB of RAM and a 1TB HDD. The HP noise cancellation option makes conference calls that much more manageable - after all, if you're ringing up to threaten a minion over your star-killer project not being completed on time, you don't want your henchman's breathing interfering with your dastardly speechifying. The mid-range is a bit messy, perhaps, but that would be the only criticism. With the bundled trailers and assets they produce a good job, with accurate high-pitch detail sounds and reasonable basses. Still, the casing doesn't really seem to get hot, which is a boon if you're using this on your lap in the first mate's seat of your Corellian YT-1300 light freighter. Other functions are equally frustrating, and anything that involves writing to that old-fashioned 5400 RPM HDD will annoy users used to modern SSDs. Start-up, for example, is sllloooowww, taking at least a couple of minutes. On everyday tasks, the Star Wars Special Edition moves a bit like a Star Destroyer, though that lumbering slowness doesn't result in an equivalent awesome power when deployed. The connectivity selection isn't bad - a couple of current USB 3.0s and a legacy 2.0 - and the webcam and Bang & Olufsen speakers are all present and correct. ![]() A mid-sized mechanical hard drive, a current-gen CPU, and a minimal RAM set-up (would 8GB have broken the bank?) Including a DVD burner at all is a touch archaic, but expected for the audience this will be targeted at. Overall, that's a low-end current-gen set-up par excellence.
