Portable: ECS i-buddie 4 Review :: Performance

Author: Doc Overclock · 06-28-2002 · Category: Hardware -

As far as system performance goes the I-Buddie is pretty much on par with the (LINK) Shuttle SS50 based on this same chipset. For just plain computing power there is not much difference between this portable system and most desktop solutions running the same CPU. Stability was never a negative factor and the system ran fine through our series of torture tests.

The graphics are as I have stated adequate for modest gaming but not for the serious gamer and that is not the target audience for this product anyways. Most folks will be happy with the way the system performs as it actually does quite well for a portable system. The system did crash however when trying to run Spec Perf so Auto Cad will probably not run well on this machine.
