Two exactly equal t410 laptops but very different CPU performance

Hi all,
Hope anyone in this forum can help me with this. I have never seem something similar before.
I have two T410 laptops with exactly the same configuration:
- Intel Core i5 M520 2,4Ghz
- 4GB 
- Same exact bios version and date
- One of them has a fingerprint reader, the other does not
The problem is that running CPU Passmark on both laptops I get 2755 on one (what is quite similar to the ranks posted in the page) and 965 in the other.
Yep, the second is about 3x slower. And it is not only slower than its brother the t410 but also slower 
If I swap their hard disks I get the same results so it is not related to the software they are running.
I have loaded bios defaults several times (F9), but it looks like it does not really change all the values so I checked all them manually and I would say they are equal.
¿Does anybody know what is happening to the slow unit? Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Same graphics? Size of power supplies? Is either battery bad? Are they both real Lenovo batteries?

    How to sync two IPhone with one PC , but with different applications ?
    We have two IPhones , but one PC , we want to sync separately , is that possible ?

    Absolutely, connect each phone, select what content you want on each phone, then hit the sync button. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs, including separate backups.

  • 2 Different iPhones, both 3G but very different reception

    I live  in a condo with wireless router Netgear. Reception in MBR differs greatly between the two phones my wife and I own. With hers (bought for .01 from ATT.
    Hers 8mg, mine is 16mg and bought from ATT for $59.00,
    With hers get 2 bard in room on WiFi connection. On mine I barely get 3G, sometimes goes to E. Try to go online and some sites, "no connection",
    Why such a difference when phones are the same and have most recent updates?

    Sync the phones to the same computer... or just set up iCloud with the same AppleID on both devices.

    Why will my iPad 2 not recognize any iPod cables? I have tried two different cables in both the wall and in my laptop, but it will not register that it is receiving power, nor will the laptop recognize that they are connected.

    Crizzo is right, the best way to charge is with the included power block. That said, the USB cords are interchangable as far as an of us know. (just not power bricks, iPhone and iPod bricks put out 5W of power, the iPad wants 10W and will always say 'not charging' if plugged into less power than it requires even though it will charge, just very slowly)
    If you have tried to charge your iPad - with the iPad charger - with multiple cables and multiple computers and get no joy then it's time to head to the apple store and have them check it out. The 30 pin USB port can go bad - mine did - and it's a manufacturer's defect (unless there's any sort of obvious damage) and should be covered under the warranty;

  • Two very different results using the same settings (H.264 / Quicktime Pro)

    I’m a bit confused, I have used Quicktime Pro (v7.1) to encode DV into H.264 for iPod and this particular video is 18 minutes long and came out looking very good with the following settings;
    VIDEO: H.264 at 200kbps, Baseline Profile, 25fps, Auto Key Frames, 320x240 or 640x480, Multipass Best quality encoding.
    AUDIO: AAC Audio at 96kbps, 24kHz sampling freq, Stereo.
    However here is the twist…
    When I use the same exact settings to encode just the 30 second opener (from the 18 minute video) the encoded opener looks bad and blocky!
    Why? Same settings would make you assume that you should get a same or similar result, or am I wrong?
    The reason I have tried encoding this 30 second opener is that I am trying to work out which settings work best on the iPod (another issue) and I don’t want to spend hours test encoding the full 18 minute video, as you know H.264 is SLOW to encode!
    So can anyone help in regard to two very different results using the same settings?

    Alvin,
    Is it a commercially-released or home-burned CD?
    If it's commercially-released, try "encouraging" the recalcitrant computer by using the iTunes Advanced menu > Get CD Track Names command when it shows Audio CD.
    If it's home-burned, you will find that only the computer that actually burned the disc will know what's on it. The information won't be transferred to another computer.
    Let us know which, if either, of these situations applies to you.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
    Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
    You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
    Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

  • HT1476 My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones. I'm stumped :/

    My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones and a USB cord that works from the laptop won't work from 3 or 4 different wall boxes that work for others. I'm stumped :/

    Update: It seems as though the phone will charge if I plug it in and then turn it off.  It will not charge while the phone is on.  Also iTunes will not recognize it, so I can't sync or anything.  I read somewhere that it could be a fuse somewhere?? Or maybe the dock connector. Where is the best place to get this repaired?

  • How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

    How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

    Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
    Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
    Backup Phone A.
    Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
    When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
    After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

    iOS does not support multiple users like a desktop OS does.
    You can use a web interface to your respective email accounts
    to keep things separate; but there is no provision for otherwise
    separating photos, media, etc.
    If you wish, you can contact Apple to let them know of your desire:

  • Two ODSs share the same InfoSource but with different updata mode load?

    We've got two different ODSs (ODS1 and ODS2) for two respective clients (client 1 and client 2).  Client 1 has already going alive and in the InfoPackage, we only pick up ODS1 (Client 1) as feeding target and we have conducted initial load and several times of Delta loads for ODS1 (data load daily).  But now we are going to start to load data to ODS2 (Client 2) and at the same time we will have to continue our delta load to ODS1. 
    It could not be possible that the two ODSs will be feeded data with different pace (ODS1: continue delta load, ODS2: initial load) if they share the same InfoSource.  Then what's the best way to resolve this issue?
    Thanks

    hi Pradip,
    Tell you a bad news that the solution doesn't work on two of the EBP (a source system which is similar to R3, we've got 4 EBP ODS/InfoSources, but two of the four don't work with the last step listed below) ODSs/InfoSources.  The steps I took on production are:
    1. Conduct Full Repair data load to ODS2;
    2. Delete init option of ODS1 from Scheduler menu;
    3. Run Init without data transfer to set delta pointer for both ODS1 and ODS2.
    But the last step to run Init without data transfer has taken 1 whole day and eventually becomes red since it takes so long time to set delta pointer. 
    When I said our solution worked is that I conducted the test on our GL ODS and the Init without data transfer took about 1 hour to finish. 
    Also when we conduct the last step to do the Init without data transfer to click Start button to set pointer, a msg box titled "Activate ODS Data" pops up saying that "No requests have been selected for activation. Do you want to make a selection, or activate all the requests?" with buttons "Activate all requests", "Select requests" and "Cancel".  If clicking the button "Select requests", another msg box pops up to prompt to input a Date range, we didn't input any date range, just click continue, then the Init without data transfer will run forever!

  • Do I need a different apple id for each device? I have two iPads and an iPod but can only purchase things on the first one. When I go to verify the questions they say they are wrong.

    Do I need a different apple ID for each device I have? I have two iPads and an iPod but I can only make purchases with the first one I purchased. It tells me the security questions are wrong but I know they are not because I wrote them down. I have also reset them and my password once. Please help if you can

    You can not login into iTunes or the App Store using VPP credentials. You must purchase all apps/book/etc.  from the VPP website. Then you can redeem the codes thru itunes/app store or import the codes thru apple configurator. Here is the url for the VPP website: https://volume.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/login?cc=us
    (It will not affect any of the apps you already have but the id can only be used for VPP.)

    I'm having some issues trying to sync my wife's ipod touch.  She's had it for a couple years and we haven't had any issues with it before.  She purchased a couple songs recently and when we connected the ipod a message came up saying there was a software update available for the ipod so we downloaded the update.  After we did that her ipod will charge when we connect it but it won't register that it's connected so we can't sync it.  Sometimes an error message will pop up saying something about not being able to connect.
    I have searched online and tried everything suggested but nothing works.  I downloaded the latest itunes update, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, tried a different usb cable and different usb port and non of that worked.  I even hooked up my ipod nano to see if it was a computer issue or ipod issue, my ipod syncd perfectly fine so it's gotta be a problem with her ipod.
    I've also restarted the ipod, nothing will get it to sync.  The ipod will still work and I've thought about trying to sync it to our my laptop but if I do that then I risk her losing all of her music on her ipod and being stuck with mine if we can't get it to sync with her computer.
    I'm all out of ideas, anyone encounter this problem?  Also if I bring it into the Apple Store is there anything they can do to try and fix it?
    Thank you.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • Please, the battery of my mac air does not last more than two hours, it's been over 30 days I sent for technical assistance and nothing! I am very disappointed with the mac air, I had a very different expectation of apples products!!

    Maybe the problem is not your MB Air......
    Try these:
    Make sure bluetooth is turned off if you're not using it.
    Set your screen brightness to 4 bars.
    See what's loading in your login items.  Delete the ones you don't need.
    Open Activity Monitor - under All Processes see what's using most of your CPU's resources.
    Highlight the ones with the highest %CPU and hit quit process.
    Remember that when Apple says that your battery should last 7 hours, they tested it just browsing the web and not have anything open in the background and screen is set at 50% brightness.

  • Is it OK to have two SBS Servers with same name, on different subnets but connected over a VPN?

    Hi Everyone,
                       I'm just about to connect up two SBS 2011 Servers with the same server name but on different subnets & domains over a VPN.
    So for example both servers will have the name Server01, one would have an ip address of 192.168.85.5, the other 192.168.86.5, they both then would be connected over a VPN.
    Can anyone foresee any issues with this configuration, like DNS & DHCP requests, adding new machines to the domain, mapping drives etc.
    Many thanks,
    Nick

    Hi Larry & Strike First,
                      Thank you for your responses. I understand that this is an unusual situation. Basically I've recently taken over the IT support for this client. The client has just had a new phone system installed
    & are asking if they can speak to each office internally, which can easily be done once I setup the VPN.
    However I noticed whilst looking at this further that the Server names are the same, hence my question?
    Am I right in saying that providing the workstations  have a trust relationship with their own domain controllers through their individual domains on separate subnets, that hopefully there shouldn't be any DNS issues between the two domains and Servers?
    I could build a new VM if you feel it would be better practice to do so?
    Many thanks for your assistance,
    Nick
