• A 900MHz Intel Celeron Mobile processor
• 915GMS chipset.
• 512MB DDR 2 RAM
• 2GB of Flash storage or a 30GB HDD
• 7in, 800 x 480 display
• Two USB ports
• 10/100Mb/s Ethernet
• 802.11b/g Wi-Fi.
• Webcam
• Windows XP Home Edition
• The kid-friendly UI is based on EasyBits’ Magic Desktop software.

This unit features a built in handle similar to that found in a recent Korean version of the Intel Classmate as well as a customizable cover and is available for 229 Pounds in the UK.
