Task list and Windows Performance Monitor





The processor employs Hyperthreading technology, which means the OS can treat every single core as two virtual and individual cores, making the computer capable of using up those unused ‘resources’ that a core has available. This allows for increased performance in the applications that are able to use this technology.
The program wPrime is one of those, which can also be seen in the two pictures above.

Windows Experience Index



The computer has obtained a base score of 5.9 points, established by the lowest sub-score: "Primary hard disk – Disk data transfer rate". The highest score is "Memory (RAM)" which gets a whopping 7.1 points, followed by "Processor" with 7 points. These results are pretty good and most likely a good deal above average.  

Boot times and out of standby



The computer starts up in about 45 seconds, which is quite acceptable. However, it does take some 6 seconds to get out of standby.
