The Compaq Presario 2800T performed well in the I/O intensive Office Productivity SYSMark 2002 benchmark. Although the system clocked at 1.7GHz performed similar to a desktop clocked at 1.5GHz, it still out performed all the other notebook system we have received to date. This includes the WinBook N4 1.8GHz that we looked at a few weeks ago. The Presario 2800T may have a 100MHz disadvantage when it came to CPU speed but it was still able to beat out the 1.8GHz WinBook, likely thanks to its increased memory bandwidth provided by the 266MHz DDR memory bus on the Presario 2800T. Overall the system performed 9% slower than the 1.7GHz Willamette based desktop Pentium 4.

Thanks to a higher score in the Internet Content Creation section of SYSMark 2002, the Presario 2800T was able to do rather well in the overall SYSMark 2002 score. The 1.7GHz Presario 2800T performed only about half a percent slower than the desktop 1.7GHz Willamette The notebook system was able to compete even with it's limited I/O bus because of the extra cache present on the Northwood based Mobile Pentium 4-M chip when compared with the Willamette based Pentium 4 that we used in the desktop system. The Presario 2800T was also able to edge out the WinBook N4 1.8GHz by 4% and the Toshiba Satellite 1905-S277 1.6GHz by 31%, ranking it the fastest notebook we have seen to date.
