Performance - Startup Times

Boot Time (seconds) ECS i-Buddie XP 2100+ Compaq Presario 2800T 1.7GHz Dell Inspiron 8200 2.0GHz Toshiba 1905-S277 1.6GHz ASUS S1 1.2GHz Hypersonic Sonic Aviator 3.06GHz WinBook N4 1.8GHz ECS i-Buddie 4 1.6GHz Compaq Presario 900 1500+ WinBook J4 2.4GHz Sager NP8886 2.8GHz 31 31 32 36 36 36 37 39 39 40 51 | 0 | 10 | 20 | 31 | 41 | 51 | 61

With all the components the Sager NP8886 must initialize and drivers that the system must load it should not be a surprise that the boot time of the machine was the longest we have seen on a notebook system. It took almost a minute to go from off to Windows XP Professional.

Out of Standby Time (seconds) WinBook J4 2.4GHz ECS i-Buddie XP 2100+ Dell Inspiron 8200 2.0GHz Toshiba 1905-S277 1.6GHz WinBook N4 1.8GHz Compaq Presario 2800T 1.7GHz ECS i-Buddie 4 1.6GHz Sager NP8886 2.8GHz Hypersonic Sonic Aviator 3.06GHz ASUS S1 1.2GHz 5 6 6 6 6 7 7 7 8 10 | 0 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12

Interestingly enough, the amount of time required to return from standby did not seem to be as effected by the dual hard drives, TV tuner, ect present on the NP8886. The out of standby time of the NP8886 is about average.

Out of Hibernate Time (seconds) ECS i-Buddie XP 2100+ WinBook N4 1.8GHz Toshiba 1905-S277 1.6GHz Compaq Presario 2800T 1.7GHz Dell Inspiron 8200 2.0GHz ECS i-Buddie 4 1.6GHz ASUS S1 1.2GHz Hypersonic Sonic Aviator 3.06GHz WinBook J4 2.4GHz Sager NP8886 2.8GHz 16 16 17 19 21 22 23 25 26 35 | 0 | 7 | 14 | 21 | 28 | 35 | 42

Again the NP8886 drags when return from hibernation. It took the system 9 seconds longer to return from this state than our previous slowest notebook and was 19 seconds slower than the fastest notebook we have seen in this test.
