Remember that this machine is shipping with a Linux desktop and not MS Windows Vista. There's no requirement for a Nvidia GPU just to run Minesweeper—1GB RAM and a 1.8GHz processor is going to make for a snappy machine.

As for the former observations, I wonder if Psystar would be responsive if emailed with the points, noting at the same time that the blurb for their OpenLite Linux Desktop currently reads "With unparalleled affordability this computer can Windows computing into every home and office", which is at the minimum short of a transitive verb.

...Perhaps the writer intended "remove" or "replace? If so, that "into" needs adjusting!
