The key to the performance of these machines is in the CPU. On the 1001HA (which was only released in Europe in November) is the Intel Atom 1.6GHz N270. This is a single core (with hyperthreading) CPU running at 533MHz FSB. The model N280 runs at 667MHz but is still single core. There are newer processors on the market and more coming. The N270 is not now used in any new products that I know of. It is 'old' technology.
I suggest you wait a little or look for an ATOM CPU that is a dual-core model.
