Performance

For Example Gateway ZX6900-01e has scored 113 on the WorldBench test with a processor of corei3-530. Though the device boasts nVidia GeForce GT230 graphics card it doesn’t boost its gaming performance. It delivers a frame rate of 39 fps on Unreal Tournament 3 benchmark. Hp gives free upgrades but you have to keep a track of it. The TouchSmart offers good multimedia features to go in hand with the hug multi-touch display. The Webcam’s quality is not that good but it manageable for skype. The audio quality is good with impressive audio fidelity. Bass is balanced and is not dominating. The TouchSmart is really expensive than the regular PC machine. It is not better than the Sony L117FX/B but definitely it has serious other good features to give a tough competition to its envious competitors.
