have you tried actualy putting something like Ubuntu on it? I've just shoved it on a HP Mini Note ( 2133) and it runs lovely with Gnome. Its only got a VIA VGA chip in it so no fancy 3D but for what these things are aimed at its spot on.

It also even runs the propriety Broadcom Wifi card using teh recently released STA drivers.

I was actually really impressed with it as a nice small footprint piece of kit.
