[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1534243, member: 8287"] I hope this not come off as mean but a 1.6Ghz ATOM is a Netbook CPU and slower than molasses on a cold day. No it's not even close in specs to any Air leave alone a modern one. A Core i5 is many times faster than an Atom which is a very underpowered CPU. That said my Quad Core PC with Windows 7 boots to a fully useable desktop in 30 seconds or less. In fact the desktop shows in 12-14 seconds. Even a Netbook should not take that long to boot. I own a first gen Acer Aspire One Netbook that takes less than 45 seconds. What version of Windows is on that PC? It sounds like Windows is all messed up with much Maleware. [/QUOTE]
