All Asus Netbooks and Laptops running with Windows XP will be shipped with new Hyperboot ™ “instant on” technology pre installed thanks to a new partnership deal with Diskeeper Corporation.
The Hyperboot ™ technology means that users will no longer have to sit impatiently waiting for their systems to kick into action (don’t you just hate that?) and will now be able to enjoy almost instant boot up time.
An important point here has to be energy as instant boot up means massive energy savings, particularly over a period of time.
This is even more important now that there is an increased focus on so called green computing, something that ASUS is keen to promote.
Asus officially launched “Green Asus” in 2000 which still pursues what Asus has called the “Four Green Home Runs” which are Green Design, Green Procurement, Green Manufacturing and Green Service and Marketing.
An example of this in action is that as from 2009, Green Asus restricts around 37 hazardous substances. The European Union only stipulates 6 that have to be restricted so Asus have decided to restrict 31 more than that required by the EU.
More and more consumers and indeed businesses are now considering boot up time as part of their evaluation criteria when deciding which devices to purchase so Hyperboot is likely to increase the appeal of Asus computers.
Customers will also be able to buy with confidence too as extensive tests on computers running with Windows XP, regardless of which particular model of computer it is, has shown that boot time can be significantly improved with Hyperboot.
“Diskeeper Corporation has a long record of speeding up Windows performance with their defragmentation technology,” notes Mr. S.Y. Shian, Vice President of System Business Group, NB Business Unit.
“We want our customers to receive that same kind of performance benefit and the best computing experience possible with our products. This partnership to include their Hyperboot technology in our netbooks and laptops brings that promise into reality.”
Diskeeper Corporation is an innovator of technologies that enhance the performance and reliability of Windows computers. It was launched in 1981 and is headquartered in California USA but has offices in England and Hong Kong.
Asus is the Taiwanese company who unleashed the very first Netbooks on us back in the old days of October 2007 and the computer industry has never been the same since.
