A simple test run of Android x86 on a touch-enabled PC.

Specs

Running Android-x86 4.0-r1 for AMD Brazos platform on the following hardware:

  • ASUS E45M1-M PRO
    • AMD E-450 @ 1650 MHz
    • ATI Radeon HD 6320
  • 2x4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz (PC-12800) RAM
  • Kingston V100 32 GB SATA II SSD
  • Dell ST2220T display with 1920x1080 touchscreen (two simultaneous touch points)

Installation

The setup is pretty straightforward.

Setup menu

There were some issues with Wi-Fi, so I had to use a wired ethernet connection.

Main screen

To enable the Internet, you need to go to console (Alr+F1 to open console, Alt+F7 to close) and run the command:

netcfg eth0 up
netcfg eth0 dhcp
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8

Tests

The performance is very good and you can even play games.

Games

Touch input only supports a single point touch. I did not found a way to enable any gestures.

Google Maps

I did run a few browser benchmarks with Google Chrome.

Acid3 Test

The results are pretty high for a mobile platform.

Peacekeepr benchmark

Browsermark

In summary, this looks pretty promising and it could make a great alternative to Windows Embedded and Webconverger if the driver issues will be addressed.
