Get at least 4GB of RAM, and a 250GB+ HDD.
I buy hundreds of PC's and notebooks each year (other end of the market though). I've just bought a AMD Fusion for general use around the house.

The atoms are fantastic for what they were designed for and that is low power usage, i bought an eeepc for my daughter just for surfing the net and facebook and she can get almost 9 hours out of a full charge and this thing runs windows 7 starter edition, not bad for just over $300 |
