Hewlett Packard Pavilion DM1Z Fusion Ultraportable Review

For the tests on this page we are measuring the boot up time and the wake from hibernation time. Startup is measured from the moment we hit the power button until the Windows 7 system is responsive to commands. Wake up test is measured from hitting the power button to being able to get access to the login screen.

A time of 65 seconds is rather poor, but there is a tremendous amount of bloatware installed on the machine out of the box. By removing much of the additional software we were able to reduce this time by around 10 seconds.

Again, this feels rather sluggish. Later we will retry these tests with a high performance Solid State drive installed.
