Here we can see that the fast SSD used on the <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.eu\/el\/product\/proteus-11\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Proteus 11<\/a> models increases performance with tasks such as Windows boot speeds, loading times for software, and saving large amounts of data like an office document.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Averaging out all of the benchmark results gives an average of 10% increase in performance, which is exactly what the price difference between the 11 and 11S is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which DroiX Proteus 11 model should you buy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both models are extremely good in their own rights, offering fast processing power, extremely fast storage, as well as high speed and reliable WiFi 6.
