Dell Inspiron Duo: Interesting Design, Slow Boot?
Microsoft’s Windows Experience Blog’s Ben Rudolph got his hands on the Dell Inspiron Duo convertible touchscreen netbook and ran it through some timing tests.
The Inspiron Duo features a dual-core Atom N550 processor, 2GB RAM and 320GB hard drive. Ben reported that it took 36.5 seconds to boot, 17.5 seconds to shutdown (with no apps open), 9 seconds to sleep, and 1.5 seconds to wake. The two most important measurements to me are the cold boot time and time to wake.
