System Performance

Unfortunately, the Mini 1000 didn't complete our PCMark05 system test due to screen resolution issues similar to the ones we encountered on the MSI Wind. But based on the available results - it's obvious that there's really no difference when it comes to the performance of the CPU. On the other hand, we expected the scores of the HDD test to tank badly and as you can see, the scores of 2709 marks weren't too impressive when compared against the faster 5400RPM drives of the other netbooks.

Nonetheless, actual usage was fine, though you may have to wait just that little bit longer for Windows to boot, but it shouldn't affect the normal day to day productivity significantly (if that's what you're really worried about).
