General Battery Performance Mobile Mark 2002 (Score in Mobile Marks - Higher is Better) IBM T40p (1.6GHz) IBM T40 (1.5GHz) Electrovaya SC500 (866MHz) 160 154 101 | 0 | 32 | 64 | 96 | 128 | 160 | 192

The battery performance score portion of MobileMark 2002 measures system performance while on battery power. Thanks to the SpeedStep technology utilized by both the Pentium III-M and the Pentium M processors, notebooks and tablets utilizing these processors do not lose (virtually) any performance when running on battery power. This results in the Pentium M chips maintaining a fairly large lead over the Scribbler SC500: about 60% with the 1.6GHz Pentium M.

Battery Life Mobile Mark 2002 (Score in Minutes - Higher is Better) Electrovaya SC500 (866MHz) IBM T40p (1.6GHz) IBM T40 (1.5GHz) 499 379 293 | 0 | 100 | 200 | 299 | 399 | 499 | 599

Things change a bit when we get to the battery life graph. We have become accustomed to seeing the Electrovaya Scribbler SC500 at the bottom of the graphs. In fact, until we tested the battery life of the system, the SC500 was in last place in every test except for one (the Internet Content Creation section of SYSMark 2002). When we tested battery life the Electrovaya Scribbler SC500 found its way to the top of the graphs and not by a small margin at all.

Remember how we mentioned that the key to the Scribbler SC500's success was its battery life? Well the battery life test in MobileMark 2002 certainly proves this. The tablet lasted for a full 8 hours and 19 minutes! That is almost exactly 2 hours more than the Pentium M based IBM ThinkPad T40p with its ultra high capacity battery. Truthfully we were amazed with the battery life of the Scribbler SC500 as it is unlike any other tablet or notebook we have seen to date. At over 8 hours of battery life, the system provides enough power to run all day away from the wall.
