The Windows-compatible netbooks come with 1GB of DDR2 RAM, up to 160GB of hard drive space, and a 3- or 6-cell battery. The LED backlight display has a resolution of 1024×600 pixels.

There are also a 1.3MP or 2MP web camera, depending on model, stereo speakers, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, optional Bluetooth, an Ethernet LAN port, and a 4-in-1 media card reader.

The standard U123 and the U123H with 3.5G HSDPA mobile broadband support have three USB ports. The U123T has two USBs, but includes a built-in TV tuner.
