Ask any male and you’ll be told that that there are quite a few similarities between women and computers. I need to be careful what I say here for fear of upsetting large swathes of the population, but one of the comments I have heard is: A woman is like a computer in that she costs more than you thought it would, and will not do exactly what you want it to.
I am not going to agree with that of course (mainly as I don’t have a large enough head-start), but the one area where I see similarities between women and the G71V is the area of multi-tasking. Yes, I have heard men are apparently useless at this human trait, so as a practicing male subject, I thought I’d see how effective the G71V is in this very important area. I have tested most aspects of the G71V thoroughly, and so this tests how the G71V handles an area most people face daily in the real world – opening multiple applications at the same time while working, with a few games open on the sly for some stress relief!
With all the memory available, and an OLED display that shows memory usage so that I could monitor how taxed the system was, it was time to open a whole lot of applications and a few games to see if I could break the machine!
So, I opened Firefox, (with all my multi-tabs and a truck load of extensions), MS Word, MS Excel, MS Powerpoint, MS Outlook, iTunes, Skype, IE7, Call of Duty 4 and memory was only on 66%. Whew, not quite as much as I thought it would be so let’s open a few more. I also opened G.R.I.D and MS Access as well as MS Publisher and still memory capacity was at 78%.
I didn’t go any further as realistically, I would never open this many apps at any one time but it’s great to know that if you ever have an attack of “I need to do everything now”, this machine can handle it and then some. I would have to say that the G71V handles multi-tasking, probably better than my better half, but you never heard me say that!
