ZaReason provided an Asus Eee PC 1000 loaded with Ubuntu Hardy Heron. Basic specs for this unit include a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor, 1 GB of memory, a 40 GB Solid State Disk (SSD) drive and a 10-inch screen. A 6-cell battery is standard and provides up to 6 hours of run time depending on usage. Networking support includes 10/100 wired Ethernet plus 802.11n and Bluetooth.

Boot time with the SSD is quick. I had a login prompt in about 45 seconds from pressing the on switch. It took another 30 seconds after entering my login credentials to bring up the main screen. Total time from power on to logged in and ready to go is under two minutes assuming you type your password in correctly. Speed and power are two definite advantages of SSD equipped laptops.

ZaReason ships the Eee PC with a standard install of Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04). Basic software packages include everything a typical user will need including Evolution, Gimp, Open Office, and more. You'll get Firefox 3.01 out of the box along with the F-Spot photo management tool, Pidgin instant messenger client and Cheese for taking photos or videos with the built-in 1.3 MP camera.
