Processor: AMD64
Screen: 17" LCD SyncMaster713N
RAM: 2GB

Name: MSI Wind U100 netbook
Processor: Intel Atom N270 @ 1.60Ghz
RAM: 2GB -- originally 1GB, voided the warranty to add another gig.
HDD: 160GB SATA HDD
Optical drive: None, it's a netbook ~
Graphics: Intel 945GME
Sound: Just the standard built in audio. Never had any issues with it on anything I've installed.
Network: Standard ethernet; this thing has the Realtek RTL8187SE wireless card which -- if anyone has ever dealt with it -- you know that it can be a bitch to get working drivers for. =\

Moving from my 900a EeePC to a just picked up:

Name: IBM x31 Thinkpad
CPU: 1.6 Pentium M
HDD: 4200 40gb
Graphics: Radeon 7000
Display: 12.1'' Matte
Optical: None
Battery: 6 cell, still with 97% capacity
Network: Intel a/b/g

Thoughts: While startup is a bit slower on the x31 than the 900a (with an upgraded SSD), overall much more a pleasure to use. Full, responsive keyboard and larger screen make long writing session much more enjoyable. Openbox doesn't push the graphics too hard, though full screen flash is a hair shaky (though this is likely the fault of flash rather than the graphics.) Most everything (wireless included) configured out of the box, with just the Trackpoint needed a bit of HAL work to get scrolling enabled.

I think I've found a winner (for me) in the weight / usability / price competition.   Haven't run out the battery yet, but am keen to see what kind of life I can pump out of it.

If anyone's in the market for a upgraded 900a eeePC feel free to PM me...I don't need three #! systems.

My new toy, picked it up today for £115, good condition, original factory load of win98.
Got a bit of moisture in the screen though, will try and sort it out soon because it's annoying when trying to browse the web.

Laptop 2: Panasonic Toughbook CF-27 (E series)
OS: Crunchbang 9.04.1 Standard (Originally Wingdoze98)
CPU: Intel Mobile Pentium II 298.416MHz 256KB cache
HDD: 6.5GB encased in a 10mm thick gel compound.
Network: No onboard lan/wlan. 56k Modem + GPRS Modem on ttyS2 (can't get it to do much though). Currently using a USB wifi dongle +ndiswrapper.
Graphics: Neomagic Onboard Shared.
Screen: 12.1" TFT @ 800x600 (max) + a red stuck pixel that I've named Paul.
Sound: Yamaha, dunno any other details, but it works
Ram: (Originally 128MB) Reporting as 256MB, but should be 384MB(384 is the max, according the the user manual)! I found a seccond ram slot, so I installed a 256mb module in, but it runs at 133mhz rather than 100 so maybe the onboard 128mb ram is too slow to be used with the 133mhz ram???

It works almost perfectly out of the box, I just have to supply vga=789 and acpi=force into grub, and it works really well!
The laptop also has a neat OSD built into the graphics controller, so I can push FN+F9 and it shows the battery status. Is it common to see this in laptops, or have I just got a nice extra?
Oh yeah.... youtube is absolutely useless on this thing
Might put crunchbang on my newer dual core laptop, if I can be bothered to move my stuff over, and then configure it the way I like it etc..

CPU : Core 2  Duo (E8400) @ 3.00Ghz
RAM : 8 GB (4x2) Cosair XRM2 (DDR2) @ 1066Mhz
HDD : 4 x 320GB WD SATA-II (1.5GB/sec) (1.280 TB)
GFX : Nvidia 9800 GTX
SND : HDA Intel (7.1 soundsystem is pretty sweet)
NET : Intel Gigabit

Screen : 23" HP 2309m (1920x1080) x 2
Optical : DVDR (Duallayer, Lightscribe)
Netspeed : 100/100 fibre ;-)

OS : Only linux (#! & Arch atm)
Kernel : 2.6.32-7
- #!, 9.04.1 using 10.04-beta "core"

Ok, installed #! on my server, simply because I was fed up with Ubuntu Server being soooo slow to load a GUI.
Server 2: My awesome little HP Pavillion 8670
OS: Crunchbang 9.04.1 Standard
CPU: Intel Pentium 3 533MHz (it runs at about 510 because the PSU is on its way out)
HDD: 80gb, 40 if it's booting up in a bad mood
Network: Some generic 10/100 PCI card.
Graphics: Um... dunno. I think it's an Nvidia Riva TNT 64mb, but I'm not certain.
Screen: 16" CRT
Sound: 16bit ISA Sound blaster card, pinched out of an old 386, although I've never bothered to set it up.
Ram: 256mb, but I had a bit of an accident.... ESD on one of my modules, so it's running with 64mb less.

Name:  Dell mini 10
Processor:  Intel Atom Z530 @ 1.6GHz
Screen:  10" @ 1366x768
RAM:  1GB DDR2
HDD:  32GB SSD
Graphics:  Intel GMA 500
Sound:  Inel
Network: Broadcom 43xx 802.11n
OS: Crunchbang upgraded to 9.10

Thoughts: Not a bad little laptop. The biggest pain is getting around the GMA500 screwup by Intel but I found an easy to use script that installed them and integrated them into the kernel. not being able to upgrade the RAM is another huge downside. Crunchbang is easily faster than anything else I've run on it including the original Ubuntu 8.04 install that it came with. It really feels like a whole new computer.
