As the Poulsbo platform is relatively new, many programs are unable to recognise and inform as to what exact hardware is in the computer. For example, everything under the SPD tab in CPU-Z is empty in the newest version, so I have omitted posting those screenshots.

Comparison
The computer is pitted against Toshiba’s NB100, which caters to the same consumer group as this one, but offers some slightly different hardware.

Toshiba NB100's specifications:

Intel 945GSE (Calistoga-GSE) + ICH7-M/U

Toshiba's NB100 costs less than £300.

Windows Experience Index

The computer obtains a base score of 1.9 points, established by the lowest sub-score which is “Processor – calculations per second”. The highest score obtained was in “Primary hard disk”, due to the SSD storage. All in all not a very impressive picture of performance, but that is not the point of computers in this category anyway.

Boot and out of standby times

The Eee starts up in about 50 seconds, some 20 seconds slower than the comparable netbook. However, it only takes 2.5 seconds to get out of standby.

Battery life

Idle test settings
Brightness: 1/16, varying clock frequency between 797.0 MHz to 1331.6 MHz, SSD standby after 10 minutes and WiFi and Bluetooth active.

Classic test settings
Brightness: 16/16, varying clock frequency between 1014.8 MHz and 608.8 MHz, SSD standby after 10 minutes and WiFi and Bluetooth active.

The computer lasts for up to 5 hours and 22 minutes in idle, which is quite alright. It can go at full performance for just under 4 hours, also not bad.
