MobileMark™ 2002 is a notebook computer benchmark program for mobile computers running Windows XP and Windows 2000. The primary purpose of this benchmark is to measure how long a mobile computer can run on a single battery charge. What makes MobileMark 2002 unique is that it measures system performance while the battery is discharging, and the benchmark reports both a performance score and a battery run time.

Today's notebook computers typically adjust performance to extend battery life. MobileMark 2002 shows you how well a notebook performs under battery power, to reveal a balanced performance and battery life picture. For MobileMark2002, BAPCo, using its expertise in creating other industry standard benchmarks like SYSmark 2002, created workloads specifically suited for testing notebook computers. The user has the choice of running MobileMark under a Productivity workload or a Reader workload, which simulate two different usage models.

MobileMark 2002 allows notebook OEMs, IT departments, reviewers, publishers, testing laboratories and notebook users to evaluate mobile systems in today's more realistic mobile environment.
