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 a 900MHz processor.
I have decided to put the Eee 1000HD up against another netbook, namely the Asus Eee 1000H, the only model that officially comes to Denmark.

The Asus Eee 1000H model had the following specifications:

Processor:
Intel Atom, 1.6GHz, 512KB L2 Cache, 533MHz FSB.

Chipset:
Intel i945GME Chipset, ICH7-M/E Southbridge.

RAM:
1024MB PC5300 DDR2 RAM, 667MHz.

Display adapter:
Intel i945GME with 8MB dedicated DDR VRAM.

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

Display:
10" LCD 1024x600 display.

Battery:
6Cell-6600mAh.

Operating system:
Windows XP Home.

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.

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.
