Specifications of our test sample: Celeron 1,1 Ghz 128 MB RAM DVD ROM Intel 820 Chipset / integrated graphics - sound Click to enlarge. EzGo in a normal hand Sideview with a package of normal cigarettes Frontplate removed, you can see the cooler on the left hand and the removeable harddisk on the right hand Bottom of the computer, you can see the removed DVD drive and the memory and on the front the IrDa interface. Here s the cooling system, the air is blowed trough the rips of the copper cooler. Celeron 1,1 Ghz on Socket 370 First run and installation of Windows XP: The EzGo has no seperate floppy drive, but you can use a bootable version of Windows XP. This has worked fine and the installation routine has found all hardware components.
We had a problem with a unsharp video signal output but we could solve the problem by installing the latest drivers from the Intel homepage. First performance impressions: We havenĀ“t installed any benchmark programs yet but the boot-time is pretty quick. We will see how fast it is after we have installed some applications like Microsoft Office and other tools.
Also we only have 128 memory of RAM which is shared with 4 MB of the integrated graphics. Maybe we can speed it up by updating the RAM to 256 MB.
But after all you can not expect a high end machine but it looks like for office use it is more than enough. You can expect the full review by the end of next week, than we can give you all information about speed, compatibility and how to use the EzGo Mini PC. But our first thoughts are pretty positive. We will see.
