It features an i3-3217U 1.8GHz processor. Users just have to invest $49 to upgrade to an i5-3317U. The netbook also has 4GB of DDR3-1333 memory and has a 32GB mSATA SSD.

The UltraLap 430 weighs around 3.5 pounds and is available with a choice of Linux operating systems, including Ubuntu 12.04 LTS as well as Debian, Linux Mint, Fedora, and others.
