CPU Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz
Memory 512MB DDR2 667MHz
Storage 160GB SATA
10.1" screen. For me, this was great in VGA textmode
I prefer to keep OS and personal data separate (This is one important difference from ChromeOS that appeared a few years later)
The USB stick contained OS only, HDD was used for data storage only, if at all. For example, I might not use the HDD at all, leaving it as is when I bought the computer. or I might use the HDD to store public data like public zone files
I primarily used external drives for personal data storage (This is another important difference from ChromeOS, no "cloud" storage)
As such, when the computer eventually dies, I have the OS on USB stick and data on external drives, easily portable to new computers
