Yes, the tests shown in the video are simply our standard application, battery-life, and game tests. The link below explains the ratings.

Here's how the ratings work:
"The PC World Rating is the overall rating for a product, and results from the combined scores of four major component characteristics: features/specifications, performance, design/usability, and price."
