Ubuntu booted up in 42 seconds, measured from the boot menu to the fully loaded desktop, while Windows did it in 40 seconds. In this area, Windows has a small advantage. The values in the table above are displayed in minutes. In general, the battery life is almost identical. In Windows it’s 10% by default and can be changed within Power Settings, but in Ubuntu this is not accessible (from the graphical user interface, at least). The difference in battery life is minor, but please note that Windows and Ubuntu maybe go in hibernation (due to low battery) at a different battery level.

On Ubuntu and its Movie Player the run time was 4 hours and 50 minutes and then the system went to hibernate mode, while on Windows with Media Player the movie played 4 hours and 45 before hibernation. The screen brightness was set at maximum, sound was on 60%, and Wi-Fi was on. We have tested the battery life with a DVD-quality movie playback from the hard drive. However, that gap isn’t visible in everyday tasks, such as web surfing, email, or in office apps.

That’s mostly because of Ubuntu’s big advantage in floating point and memory performance, so if you run some software which heavily depends on these two you might notice the difference. Ubuntu is faster than Windows, but wierdly, the difference is huge. Ubuntu 11.10 vs Windows 7 Starter – GeekBench Benchmarkįor general CPU and memory performance benchmarks, the most suitable app is GeekBench, since it can be run on both Linux and Windows, while other benchmark suites can’t. The performance is showed in seconds and the lower results are better. Ubuntu is slightly better in this test with 27 seconds and 1min:45secs, respectively, versus Windows’ 30secs and 1:57. We did the same with a 1.7GB folder containing about 1,000 smaller files. The number of dropped frames is not significant and you will barely notice them – there are 23-25 frames displayed per second.įor this test, we have copied an 860GB avi file from one place to another, but on the same partition.

However, we have noticed that during a 2-minute 720p Transformers trailer there were 35 dropped frames under Ubuntu and only 5 dropped frames under Windows.

You can’t watch 1080p Youtube videos on an Intel Atom N550 (as same as on the N570 or other older Atoms), because it will look like a slide show, but 720p is not an issue at all on both Ubuntu and Windows. That difference was noticable under both Ubuntu and Windows and we do recommend you to use Chrome browsers. These Ubuntu-vs-Windows differences are really impossible to notice in real world browser use, but its of help to see that Chrome and Chromium render webpages faster and are more responsive than Firefox. We used Futuremark’s Peacekeeper benchmark. Since netbooks are primarily used for Internet surfing, we think that the most important test is regarding performance of web browsers – Firefox and Chrome / Chromium. We tested Ubuntu 11.10 “Oneiric Ocelot” versus Windows 7 Starter Service Pack 1 on a Samsung NF210 Atom N550 dual-core netbook with 2GB of RAM and a 250GB 5,400rpm hard drive.īrowser Speed – Ubuntu Linux 11.10 vs Windows 7 Starter

As you maybe know, Ubuntu’s creator Canonical and computer maker Asustek have recently announced netbooks with pre-loaded Linux distro, so we assume these benchmarks will be handy for those who plan to buy a Ubuntu netbook, as well as those who will install it themselves. Unlike those who nicely presented “Oneiric Ocelot’s” usability and features, in this review we will try to demonstrate performance differences between the latest Ubuntu Linux and Windows for netbook users. When it comes to email, Mozilla Thunderbird replaces Evolution client. The 11.10 includes new themes and login screen, new features such as Deja Dup backup application, ability to sync installed apps across multiple computers via OneConf feature, and newer kernel version. There are many improvements in the new version, including changes in Ubuntu’s Unity interface and various bug fixes. Ubuntu 11.10 “Oneiric Ocelot”, the latest version of the most popular Linux distribution among laptop PC users, is now available.
