Has anyone tried Vegas (or Vegas Studio) on an Atom powered Netbook yet?
Now before y'all get foaming at the mouth about how Netbooks aren't made for this kind of application, I'm just asking if anyone has tried it. I really don't expect too much. Doing simple cuts or dissolves on a SD (or low-res proxies) project that is relatively short and simple might help me to decide whether I should get one of them.
I really don't have the money or even an overwhelming reason to get a powerful laptop. I don't have any sort of laptop now.
My neighbor, a complete computer neophyte, just got a Dell Inspirion 9 from her son. It's small and inexpensive and I'm a little bit envious. ;-)
EDIT: I used to have a Fujitsu 5010 laptop and it would run Vegas, slowly of course, and it's processor was a 900mHz ULV Centrino. If the Atom powered Netbooks run as fast the older Centrino's, it would be sufficient for me.
