Acer Aspire 1 with 2gig ram. Running XP Home SP3.<p>My usual app mix:
firefox with 3-10 tabs and 1 or 2 windows
cygwin x server with 0-2 remote x apps
2-5 ssh terminals (local urxvt clients)
notepad++ with 1-4 tabs open
openoffice writer and calc<p>Throughout the day I sometimes run: a native windows web server, a hosted virtual linux install, pdfs, torrent clients, rdp clients, cygwin or native java tools, and several oldish video games (diablo2, morrowind, warcraft3, galciv2, angband)<p>My primary problem is the screen size, many games are unplayable without connecting to a desktop monitor since the max native resolution on the screen is something goofy like 1024x600. This also means that some web apps have layout issues - they can usually be worked around with some combination of browser and plugin configuration.<p>The dual core 1.6ghz processor is surprisingly capable - opening spreadsheets and pdfs sometimes open in 2.5 seconds rather than 2 seconds, but I somehow manage to get by :D
