The base rating is determined by the lowest sub-rating, in this case "Processor – calculations per second", which obtains a rating of 2.3. The highest rating is "Primary hard disk – disk data transfer rate" at 5.9.

Boot time and out of standby

Wind U135 starts up in 40 seconds; though 5 seconds longer than Eee 1005P, it is still quite acceptable. The device takes about 4 seconds to get out of standby, which is equally acceptable.

Brightness: 9/9, HDD standby after 10 minutes and WiFi active.

When it comes to battery, U135 does not live up to the expectations. Wind U135 can only lasts for about half of what Eee 1005P manages in idle – since they pretty much offer the same functionality, you would expect more. It lasts about 5.5 hours in idle, which is not bad. However, it is not too impressive relative to other netbooks that typically reach over 10 hours on idle.

Processor

The computer goes through the test in 117 seconds, slightly better than 1005P. Both have the same CPU and chipset, so the difference should not be substantial. It is possible some programs running in the background affected the scores somehow.

SisSandra Processor Arithmetic & Multi-Media

In the Arithmetic test, the program calculates in MIPS (Million instructions per second) and Mega Flops (One million floating point operations per second) in Multi-Media. In both cases, bigger is better.
Here we see some relatively close results as expected, although U135 deviates by a few percent below 1005P. Still, the overall picture is that they are similar.
