PCMark Vantage Graph

Results: Here we see the ASUS UL50Vf was able to outperform the competition in PCMark Vantage. It would appear that NVIDIA's Optimus technology kicked on the GeForce G210m graphics card a few times during this benchmark in order to automatically gain a performance boost in certain tests, whereas the UL80Vt did not have the NVIDIA G210m activated in this benchmark.
