I should note I upgraded the RAM to 1GB a while back so my results are not typical of the normal 1510d.

Fujitsu 1510d with Windows 7 Beta 1
CPU: Pentium M 1.2 GHz (32-bit, 64K L1 cache, 1MB L2 Cache, 400 MHz bus)
RAM: 1024 MB (1GB 172pin DDR2-533 PC2-4200 Micro-DIMM)
Disk: 30GB (4,200rpm)


The Windows Experience index has froze the system every time I have tried to run it. It hangs at the "Assessing Windows Media Decoding Performance." I'll chalk that up to this being a beta OS everything can't work on the beta.

Boot times have been fantastic, from power on until the desktop is ready to go has averaged 64 seconds. 11 seconds of the boot time is the BIOS going thru it post. Sleep times are also greatly improved, suspend is around 3 seconds and the resume time is under 2 seconds, this is a huge improvement over Vista. In fact I put Vista on this system after SP1 was released but reverted back to XP Tablet since Vista unusable. Boot times under Vista SP1 were over 2 minutes and sleep and resume times were over 15 seconds. Using this system for working with in Office 2007 has been a brease.

The Fujitsu tools and onscreen display does not work and honestly I don't really miss it, I would have been excited if the fingerprint reader worked but alas the their are no drivers for it yet. The only thing i miss is the screen rotate button, I have been working around it by <ctrl><alt> + (up or, left arrow keys.)

I also have to complement Microsoft on the build of IE8 used in this Beta build 8.0.7000.0. The previous builds I have used on both Vista and XP, have been to slow to even try to use, more to come on IE8 later. This is just the first impressions on Windows 7 after a half days use with it.
