this video is about 6 months old now and it was shot during the ASUS pressconference. There was no chance to do any other tests. Just check out my other videos or my site and you will find a dozen reviews.
ok don't worry about the comments on the buttons. It is obvious that you only had one hand available, I wonder why ppl point that out. Uhm... Anyway, can you polease tell me the weight of the 901 (batery included),please? Do you think that its 6-cells battery actually lasts longer than a 4-cells one? BYE
ever tried to press to power buttons at one time while you are holding the cam in the other hand during a pressconference?
Do you really think i dunno how to do a boot time comparison or can't you just calculate these 2 seconds of this 901 bootime?
Seriously i have to do an annotation now cause the average youtube user has some problems to think twice before posting a comment! That's what i would call an epic fail!
the eeepc 901 took longer to get started because of the intel atom processor? i'm not good at theese technolgy stuff, and i was searching about the difference between the celeron and the atom processors since i'm choosing an eeepc model to buy... i wanted to find out the best price-quality in the eeepcs, and need to find out the great difference between celerom and atom... so.. if you could just to give me a hand =D
Too bad the design of the older versions (900 and stuff) are MUCH nicer. I want the newer versions like 901, 100H to be in the 900 design. Please Asus!! Please!
I was didapointed in the run and start time with Xp so I installed windows 2000 and it was MUCH faster the the XP, For what I use it for (surfing,e-mail etc) it works fine for me. All the drivers worked fine. Try it, you will see a big diff !!
Due to the fact that most users who are leaving comments just can't get what they can see on the video clip, i just closed the comments. I am getting kinda tired of deleting flame comments over here.
Again and for the last time:
this video was done during the official Eee PC 901 and Eee PC 1000H launch and pressconference. It's not any real benchmarking or competition, it's just a demonstration
So now i am gonna delete another 5 smartass comments like "push the power buttons at the same time"
Rofl, IMO the only reason it appeared to take longer was because you didn't press both of the power buttons at the same time. Press the power button on the 901 first and see which one's "faster"
guess what... they had even different windows versions ;)
believe me the 901 booted slower. Which might be also a matter of the installed applications. It was done during the ASUS pressconference and i've been the only one playing around with the systems while the pressconference is running in the background. So it was kinda hard to hold the cam and press both powerbuttons at the same time. Just a quick and dirty video.
doesn't the 901 use a conventional hard drive while the 900 uses a solid state drive? that would explain the bootup speed difference, almost no latency in a solid state drive.
Home and Pro are practically different OS's, one is going to take longer to start- if Home has more background processes, then yes, it will be slower to start up.
the 901 is better. if you noticed, he turned the 900 on first and he had the BIOS settings different. the 901 is faster, it has bluetooth, bigger SSD, and the power management features are a plus when you ore on the go. i cant wait until these are released for real in the states.
Sorry to say this but i would still go for the EEE 901 (friggin' price!)...firstly the processor is not that bad (it is bad) compared to the battery life you get and less heat produced in exchange for....everything else. However looking at this, I would definitely go for the Acer Aspire One Linux (when they release one with 20GB SSD and 2GB RAM)..it looks good and priced at £200 that's £140 lower than the EEE 900, with almost the same stuff.
I think the 901 would be faster, because your 900 was a clean self install where as your 901 it's preinstalled? Also the 901 has more apps? and comes with blotware
i am not running Linux on my 900... Its a full Windows XP Pro installation with an easy mode frontend that is booting up after the start of the ordinary XP desktop.

Bootup time is not a true test of speed and tells of the laptops processing capabilities.
#1 Get a tripod.
#2 Try running several windows of the same application, such as multiple windows of a video of at least 10meg each.
#3 Attempt a download of a few large files at the same time.
Eventually you will tax each system, but will find out which one can handle the load better.
Additionally, a true multi-thread test would be to read from an A: drive during all the above.

Killera65 3 years ago
There was at least a 3 second delay when you turned the 901 on.
That's not how you test them both.
Next time: click on both buttons -at the same time- and THEN compare.
Good luck.

He said the Eee PC 900 was running a Celeron M at 630Mhz so it sould be faster at 900Mhz.
I supose both machines are using the same type of SSD chips...
I'm trying to run away of windows, so think I'll be betting my 300Euros on an Acer Aspire One wich is 100% Solid state machine (no FAN inside)
