re net books

I have had a good read here,I was thinking about one of these acer aspire net books to use in the observatory,they certainly are reasonable price-around $350 from the local DS shop.But was concerned about the small atom CPU.

A friend has one,runs his DSLR and SSAG of it,seems to never have have any issues,but I was also hopping to use APT if I got one,will that work on win7?

I gather from the replies by the advanced tec chaps,that these little computers are up to the tasks that back yard astronomers ask of them.

Still not sure if I should get one or just the usual larger size one.Certainly be handy to cart the smaller one in the field and down loaded images if away for a few nights,can they be used for a bit of photoshopping-or can they not handle that?
