Tony,
I have been using an Aspire 1 netbook, it has a 1.6G CPU with 1G RAM and has 3 USB ports. SatPC32 runs very well controlling an Icom 910. The cost was $299.

Hi All, Has anyone used SatPC32 with a netbook computer? I'd appreciate your comments. Which netbooks do best? What ports do netbooks come with?
I just tried SatPC32 on AO-7 with an old Dell Inspiron 3800. It works well controlling 2 FT-817s in the shack. When outside, using a charged battery, it was very slow. I had to restart SatPC32 a couple of times, and, as a result, lost at least 2 QSOs with Europe. Maybe it's time for a change.
