The Ichitaro people showed it to me on a notebook computer. 
I think it was an IBM Thinkpad. Of course, as they are in 
the business of promoting such a product, I assume their setup 
was not too shabby. I remember asking about the 
memory and CPU as the response time was fast (compared to 
my dinosaur notebook when I switch font sets in yudit). I 
don't remember the specs but I remember that it didn't 
strike me as anything terribly special (it wasn't a Cray, 
in disguise). 

Maybe Alberto can speak more sensibly about the technical 
side as he saw the same thing I did; I wouldn't know a 
java interpreter from an espresso maker.
