This is a Core i5 4700UM, 2 cores, 4 threads, 1.3 GHz. I misspoke; the
eeePC is the 900 MHz Celeron. It does okay for a 14 year old processor and
isn't that far behind today's 11" offerings.

install is lightweight. Installing the Arduino IDE pulled in a lot since
it needs the JRE, gcc, avr-gcc, and a bunch of other stuff.
