Battery: Lithium Ion rechargeable and removable 4,500 mAh. Optional extended battery is 9,000 mAh.
Performance: 1.6GHz VIA C7M ULV processor (also available with 1.5GHz and 1.2GHz). 1 gig 533MHz DDR2 RAM (base model has 512 megs). 32 gig SSD drive (traditional hard drives available from 40 to 120 gigs).

Security: AES encryption engine. Trusted platform module: Atmel TPM v1.2. No built-in biometric scanner.
Pro: Incredibly small yet usable. Extremely good looking-- even the accessories are eye candy. Runs full Windows. Durable magnesium alloy casing (but be careful of the display), wonderful display and excellent wireless connectivity built-in (though we wish OQO would add an HSDPA option for world travelers and AT&T customers in the US). The Best model with SSD has acceptable to a bit better than average performance by UMPC standards and the solid state drive doesn't care how much you jump, bump and shake while using the computer.
Con: Quite expensive. Like most UMPCs, battery life is so-so with standard battery. No built-in card reader or VGA port (must use the included dongle for VGA and most projectors use VGA connectors). Low resolution display relative to screen size is easy on the eyes but it makes for a lot of scrolling and occasionally dialogs run off the screen. Inherent to the tablet design, the display is vulnerable and the unit really requires a good case for transport in bag or briefcase.
