  It's an 11" model with 2 gigs of ram.  It was half the price of a 15"
laptop when I bought it.  Mind you, prices have plummetted since then.
The installed Windows XP Home was painfully slow, maybe due to all the
craplets.  Anyhow, I blew it away and installed Gentoo, which optimizes
for the specific CPU, and it runs fine.  For full specs, see...
