QWERTY SLIM - the versatile little machine

We've done a couple of tests that can be easily reproduced at home - most of which can be viewed in bulk in a table:

Thanks to the Core 2-based CPU, "computational" tasks go quite well for the SLIM, but as soon as the VGA enters the fray, everything falls apart. A word like a hundred: with the integrated GeForce 7050, even a couple of years old games seem unattainable.

Of course, we could not miss the examination of the memory subsystem:

The write/read/copy operations did not bring the expected result, as the nForce 610i is "blessed" with a single-channel controller. We can rightly assume that this will noticeably reduce the performance of our central computing unit.

We also routinely dropped a read test on the built-in HD502IJ HDD:

Of course, we also looked at USB throughput:

Interestingly, the write speed has gotten a bit higher (we re-measured and these values ​​came out again), but we can’t complain about USB throughput.
