Atom's are decently powerful processors, considering their energy efficiency, but don't expect too much from them. They are suitable for browsing the web and basic tasks, but will become quickly bogged down. What exactly are you looking to do with this machine? Web browsing and word processing, or something more taxing like media playback?

I have three Atom PCs (two Atom 270 netbooks and an Atom 330 desktop). They are power-efficient, quiet, and compact. Fine for web surfing, word processing, etc.

We would like to buy EeeBox PC's and use them at the company as workstations for normal office users.
Which Model can you recommend?
