Benchmark

Windows Vista Experience Index:

Often when we review laptops, the first thing we show you in the benchmark section is a picture of the Windows Vista Experience Index. We don’t do it this time however, for a good reason. While the A150 could run on Vista, I wouldn’t recommend it on a laptop with only 1GB RAM.
I have decided to put the Acer Aspire One A150 up against another netbook, namely the new Asus Eee 1000HD. The two netbooks are competing for thesame market, though the ideal challenger would be one of the Eee 910 laptops.

The Asus Eee 1000HD model had the following specifications:

Processor: 
Intel Celeron, M 353, 900MHz, 512KB L2 Cache, 400MHz FSB.

Chipset:
Intel i915GMS Chipset, ICH6-M Southbridge.

RAM:
 2048MB PC5300 DDR2 RAM, 667MHz. Gingle Technology.

Display adapter:
Intel i915GM with 8MB dedicated DDR VRAM.

Hard drive:
80GB, 5400RPM, Sata II, ST980811AS. Seagate hard drive with 8MB Cache.

Display:
10" LCD 1024x600 display.

Battery:
6Cell-6600mAh.

Operating system:
Windows XP Home.

You can read the review itself here on Laptop-review in the near future, and see more information on the specifications here: Asus EEE compareson

All in all, the two laptops are almost identical in terms of specifications. The Acer A150 has 1GB RAM less than the Asus Eee 1000HD model. The most important difference is presumably the processor, but we’ll see about that below.
 

Boot times and out of standby:

Boot and out of standby times are measured from when the power button is pressed and the Windows desktop appears.

The Eee 1000HD is slightly faster in boot time than the Acer Aspire One A150, but the difference is so small it might as well be due to a difference in the amount of software loaded on the two laptops. The difference is even smaller for out of standby. In general, though, you can see that the special edition of XP, the Home Edition – which both laptops come with – is slightly faster than a typical XP platform.
 
Battery performance:

Idle times are measured at lowest power profile on the tested model, while Classic times are measured at highest performance profile. The laptops are tested with BatteryEater 2005 to find the maximum battery life at the current settings.

The A150 loses to the Eee, but the comparison is hardly fair on this point. The 3 Cell 2200mAh in the Aspire Omr is just no match for the 6 Cell 6600mAh battery in the Eee 1000HD. Whether the performance of the battery the Eee is identical to what you would get with a 6 Cell upgrade in the Aspire One I cannot say. I will attempt to acquire a battery and update the review as soon as possible.
