cacko
although the later release has some fucking annoying bugs which are shitting me.
i'd use pdaxrom if there were some decent pda apps for it, and don't give me the kde-derived bullshit apps that are horrible to use and take 90 years to startup. openembedded with gpe would be rather neat if the development team actually got off their arse, too.

it has a Pentium M Centrino chip running at 1.6 ghz. i would say it is almost 3x faster than my old AMD Athelon that ran at 750mhz.
the clock speed (1.6 ghz) is a little misleading, the new Centrino chips like mine have a 533 FSB making them damn efficient. and the low clock speed means i can run it on battery power almost 3 hours. ( i have been watching DVDs on battery with 45min minutes of battery life to spare easily)
it runs about equal to a Pentimum 2.3ghz chip is what i've heard. but yeah, like i said before, running ableton Live, my tracks that used to push the CPU up to 70% usage are now running at 15% or so and I can easily shift effects and such on the fly with no gapping or slowdown.
other specs with the Toshiba M45-s331: 15.4 inch tru-brite wide screen 80g hard drive 512m DDRAM DVD burner CD multidrive thingy wireless $1450 before rebates etc. !gah! heres a link!
