The one I got is an Acer Aspire One, with a 1.6 Ghz Atom processor, 2GB RAM, 
250 GB hard disc and Windows 7.

I have not done a lot with it yet, except to install Open Office, Lightroom, 
Firefox, Bullguard (my preferred antivirus software for Windows), iTunes 
etc. Seems reasonably fast for what I would use it for.

Cheers,
Nathan
