Mini PC Pro has just released this video shot at CeBIT of a comparison between the Noahpad UMPC and the EeePC bootup times. The Noahpad posts a very good boot up time of 33 seconds with its 1.8″ disk-based hard drive compared to the 27 seconds of the flash-based eee PC. Both UMPCs were running Windows XP, and the timing was done from the initial Windows XP boot screen until the background showed on the screen. 30 seconds is a very respectable boot time, typical PC boot times clock in at over one minute. It would be interesting to see how the Noahpad performs with a SSSD as most solutions in speeds up boot times by 50%.
