Netbooks for TGB

Anyone running TGB on a Netbook? I'm looking at maybe getting one, but not sure at the moment. A lot of the Netbooks support resolutions of 1024x600 which I think is just plain odd. I like the pretense of a smaller notebook(netbook) that I can take with me and do work on.

I currently use an HP TX2510. It has an ATI HD3200 GPU, which runs TGB fine. The earlier models (2000 included) used an earlier Nvidia chip which I do not believe would work. It has a 12 inch 1280 X 800 display, touch and pen enabled, works well. Had to disable AeroGlass (caused offset curser).

I found that the Offset Cursor was due to using Open GL and not Direct X. I switched to Direct X and that fixed my problem in Vista.
Thanks for the heads up on the Laptop though.
