Benchmark

Often when we review laptops, we start with a picture of the Windows Vista Experience Index. We don’t do it this time for goods reasons. While the laptop could carry a Vista installation, I wouldn’t recommend it on a machine with just 1 GB RAM.
I have decided to put the Eee 1000H up against another netbook, namely the new Asus Eee 1000HD. It hasn’t been officially released in Denmark, but is available at some retailers.

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. In the meantime, you can have a closer look at the specs at http://event.asus.com/eeepc/comparison/eeepc_comparison.htm

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

Even the weights of the two machines are nearly identical, the Eee 1000H sports 1440 grams against 1465 grams for the Eee 1000HD.
 
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 out of the starting booth slightly faster than the Eee 1000H, but the differences are so small they might as well be due to the amount of software loaded on the two laptops; the difference from standby is even lower. In general though, we can see that the special XP Home Edition that both netbooks have is a bit faster than a regular 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.

Atom beats Dothan; the Eee 1000H has a small advantage over the Celeron-based Eee 1000HD. Not enormous, but visible nonetheless.
