Everex Cloudbook and Asus EeePC Bootup Comparison on Windows XP

by atticus ~ March 15, 2008

We have seen how slow Everex Cloudbook CE1200V takes to startup its gOS v2.0 Rocket operating system and how it took twice the time compared to Asus EeePC. What if both ultra portables are running the same operating system? Now, we have an answer. A Youtube video comparing the time taken for Everex Cloudbook CE1200V and Asus EeePC to boot to Windows XP has just become available.

While Everex Cloudbook CE1200V still take longer to startup compared to Asus EeePC, the difference is not exactly that great. Cloudbook now takes slightly over a minute to startup, a clear sign that gOS v2.0 Rocket is the bottleneck.

    Meh…I’d take the extra 26GB for a 14 second boot increase time.

  2. Michael Boman Says:

    Actually, if you analyze the video a bit and starting counting the time when Windows starts loading to the balloon pop-up is displayed they are pretty much on pair with each other (the time measured is the time stamp in the video):

    EEE XP Splash: 19 sec
    CB XP Splash: 25 sec

    EEE XP Balloon pop-up: 1 min 1 sec
    CB XP Balloon pop-up: 1 min 14 sec

    So: XP Balloon pop-up time - XP Splash time:

    EEE XP boot time: 42 sec
    CB XP boot time: 49 sec

    So the boot time is only 7 seconds longer. If you look at the timing it seems like the reason why CB takes longer is that it spends more time in POST, but apart from that it’s almost the same and definitively worth the extra boot time. What would be interesting is if it is possible to put something like coreboot (formerly known as Linux BIOS) on it.

    Guys, this is just a minor point but an SSD drive accesses data much quicker than a spinning hard drive. There’s a snippet below but you can go the link & read the whole article - http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4057

    ‘”Disk Access” – is probably one of the most important things to consider when deciding if you want to move to the SSD. It is measured in milli-seconds and is the reason there is such a great increase in speed for booting an OS such as Vista and being able to play within the system. This speed is the time in which a piece of information is found on a sector of a drive, pulled up and read. Most hard drives are in excess of 10ms, as shown in the 15.1ms time for the Seagate. Meanwhile, SSDs such as the Mtron are reaching new heights with less than 0.1ms access time. The reason for this is because the hard drive has to wait for the disk to spin and information to become available whereas with NAND flash, it is available almost instantly.’

    If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
