Perfomance

Armed with the AMD Z-01, the WindPad 110W's retentiveness bandwidth is just slightly lower than the E-350 while it was slightly higher than the antiquated Intel Cantlet 330. Compared to today'southward desktop processors, iii.0GB/southward is fairly weak.

The WindPad's OpenGL performance impressed us as it delivered similar frame rates to the AMD 890GX chipset'southward integrated Radeon HD 4290. Moreover, it was slightly faster than the GeForce 9400M when paired with the Atom 330.

While its GPU performance was solid, the Z-01'southward CPU score was rather low at 0.39pts. By comparison, the Atom 330 managed 0.52pts and the E-350 produced a score of 0.62pts.

Although the WindPad had no problem loading powerful applications such as Adobe Photoshop CS5, graphics designers won't be replacing their workstation with this tablet. The device took 402.5 seconds to apply the radial blur filter whereas the E-350 took 291.8 seconds. Affordable desktop processors can consummate the same task in well nether 100 seconds.

Those looking to shrink files on MSI's slate should stick to small-scale archives as it took 250 seconds to complete our program workload -- 101 seconds longer than the Eastward-350 -- while entry-level desktop chips can finish the task in 60 seconds or less.

The WindPad uses just 8 watts of ability at idle and a mere fourteen watts nether total load.

Despite that incredibly low power consumption, the tablet only lasts 258 minutes (only over 4 hours). That's considerably less than the battery life offered by other tablets and heavy users volition find themselves bound to the wall more than ofttimes than they might like. When stressed, the battery lasts 2 hours and 23 minutes which isn't that bad when compared to college spec notebooks.
