The performance of the Eee PC showed itself as completely adequate for modest tasks. The combination of the N with the GMA graphic card finished e. In larger PDF documents i. In the test Hurrican freeware version of the classic Turrican or Air Hawk 2 ran smoothly. Sophisticated up-to-date 3D games can't be played smoothly, though. The not very strong Atom processor isn't supported by a graphic card which accelerates the video decoding.
Because of this, the performance is only adequate for watching SD videos. HD videos could also only be admired in p as single pictures. Web videos, depending on the data rate, can also be enjoyed.
A for the test played flash video on Gamestar. Fortunately, in battery mode the whole CPU performance was available with the performance setting mode on high.
A feature of the small netbook is the used SDD drives. They consist of flash memory modules and can achieve very fast data transmission rates, theoretically. The in the netbook built in low-priced chips and controllers achieve only under average performance values except in the access time. When writing the plate only achieved 15 MB per second in the practical test copying a 1 GB large file took 2 minutes 14 seconds, equivalent to 7. The writing rate is considerably worse, though.
For this the SSD principally remains absolutely noiseless and is insensitive to impacts. The fan turns up for about 2 minutes and then mutes again when starting StarOffice. This was constantly on, changing its speed minimally but barely noticeable. Even under load, the netbook from Asus barely got louder in battery mode because in the energy saving mode the performance of the CPU is limited. In the whole, the Eee PC remains considerably more silent than the original and can be used for working in quiet surroundings.
The built in stereo loudspeakers are, like by the Eee PC subnotebook, placed on the bottom side of the front edge. Because the sound is radiated downwards, it depends on the underlayment of how loud and clear it is reflected back to the user. On sound-absorbing materials the speakers can be too quiet and one has to count with a very damped noise. Principally the two small squeakers recite a very passable sound for their size. Despite an obvious weak bass as well as a slightly thin sound setting, the built in loudspeakers can be used, at moderate volume, for background music.
We could not quite reach the from Asus promised 8 hours battery runtime in our test. The little subnotebook ran for a maximum of about 7 hours without load, all settings on energy saving, minimum brightness. About 5 hours in normal working conditions are realistic.
The low energy consumption of an average of 14 watts was exemplary in the test. Interesting as well, was that the Eee PC only used 0. Switched off, the power supply still drew 0. Especially the sparing Intel Atom N in connection with a 6 cell battery leads to a very good battery runtime and low operating noises. Unfortunately, the two greatest deficits of the Eee PC remain. The dark display still effectively prevents the usage outdoors.
And the small keyboard makes it almost impossible to use the finger system without looking. But exactly these two features would be important for a mobile e-mail, surf and word processing system. The computing performance of the new Intel Atom CPU is completely sufficient for simple everyday tasks. One comes to the performance limits of the system only in games and high resolution videos. The two small SSDs aren't particularly fast and the writing rate leaves much to be desired but they operate noiseless and are insensitive to impacts.
In the whole the Asus Eee PC is an interesting complete package with a long battery runtime to a low price. Users who type a lot and want a bright display, should acquire one of the 10" counterparts i.
