Here are the specifications: -

  • 1.6GHz Intel Atom 230 CPU
  • 1GB DDR2 RAM
  • 160GB hard disk
  • Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics
  • HDMI, D-SUB out
  • eSATA
  • 6 x USB
  • 4-in-1 card reader
  • Gigabit Ethernet
  • 802.11bg WLAN
  • Linux
  • Size: 30mm x 180mm x 180mm

I’ve installed Windows 7 (more details in another post) and done a quick test of the power consumption. As I’ve read in reviews (but didn’t quite believe!) the power draw hovers between 19 and 20 watts (this is idle – just displaying the Windows desktop after everything has finished loading).

I intend to stick another stick of 1GB RAM inside it, so maybe this will increase the power consumption slightly, buts its still pretty good!
