The WinBook did better in the Internet Content Creation area of SYSMark 2002 than it did in the Office Productivity area, a trend we have seen in our mobile reviews. This is due to the fact that this area of SYSMark 2002 is not nearly as I/O intensive, thus the largest bottleneck of notebook systems is not exploited to its full extent. Performance of the N4 was off about 5% from its 1.8GHz desktop counterpart but the system still managed to devastate the Toshiba Satellite 1905-S277 by 22%.

We showed in our ASUS T9 review exactly how I/O intensive Content Creation Winstone 2002 is. It should therefore come as no surprise to find both notebook systems filling out the bottom of the chart. The WinBook N4 was off the desktop performance by 18% in this instance. The 20% trend continues in this benchmark, with the WinBook N4 performing 24% faster than the Toshiba Satellite 1905-S277. Consistently, in all the benchmarks thus far, the WinBook N4 performed about 20% faster than the Toshiba system we had a look at a few weeks ago. Again, this is likely due to the differences between the system, such as the different chipsets and P4 cores.
