M700 Benchmark Results Discussion

I have been involved in some conversations over on Tablet PC Reviews about the Toshiba M700 benchmarks.  Tiffany posted up some results that didn’t look very good for the specs of the machine.  I have the same machine and my results were very similar to hers:

PC Mark 05: 3,399

Not so good for that machine Compare that to the others tested (Direct copy and past from Tablet PC Review and shortened a little)
