I have a Thinkpad x120e, it's similarly low-CPU but still useful, especially with 6GB RAM and an SSD (and if undervolted it doesn't even run the fan up high all the time). I ran the recent IB server migration from it after my main PC conked out at an unfortunate time.

Unfortunately, a lot of netbooks max out at 1 or 2 gigs of RAM, and the drive isn't upgradeable. My Asus Eee 901 topped out at 1 GB, and the 16 gigs of 'ssd' was hard-partitioned as 4 gigs for C:\ and the rest for D:\.
But it was fine for really old games and MUCKing from! I still have it, but the fan is messed up and it overheats.

Yeah... I guess the key is that if you get a netbook, try to get one that's upgradeable in some way. Of course, the lightest and cheapest tend not to be, but often you can get a deal on one that is - and that might be a better bet in the long-run.

About mid-2009, I got a Toshiba Netbook. I still have the computer, still running Windows 7 Starter Edition, with only 1G of RAM; it's rather sluggish on that, but it still does most of what I need it to do. Now that I work for a place that handles lots of computers, I have a better source for spare parts and upgrades...
...the junk bin. ;-)

Ah, good old memories :3 I used to use a netbook as my main computer for a good bit of time (though mine was an Acer Aspire One), was cheap and _very_ portable~ Unfortunately, after 2 years, it started to slowly deteriorate, and after 3 years I could no longer even boot it (didn't pass POST).

Eeeeeee!~ is pretty much the reaction I had to mine!
And I did that too, the program to un-underclock the Intel GMA video, to run WoW. I only used it to check on my auctions when I was on lunch at work. (This was before the Android app for that, so...)
Cute!
