Sure, the i-Buddie XP may not find much use away from a desk, but it is still
interesting to see how fast the system booted. Keep in mind that with the purchase
of the external battery pack the boot up time, standby time, and hibernate time
become increasingly important.
The i-Buddie XP started up fairly quickly, making it the second fastest system
we have seen go from a black screen to Windows. This represented a fairly nice
improvement over the i-Buddie 4, which was 6 seconds slower from start to finish.

Mimicking the boot-up time rating of the i-Buddie XP, the time required for
the system to come out of standby mode was fast; tying with three other systems
at six seconds.

Again, the time required for the i-Buddie XP to come out of hibernation mode
was short. At only 16 seconds, the system recovered 6 seconds faster than the
i-Buddie 4.
