Hello Roger,

I use a Lenovo S10 netbook (with Intel Atom CPU), and am very pleased 
with it. It runs spectrum lab since over a year, continuously 24/7, 
without ever locking up despite continuous CPU load caused by the VLF 
hum remover (FFT-based filter). Even when the fan starts (which it does 
occasionally, at room temperatures above 22°C), it remains very silent. 
The only annoyance is when I have to restart it because the windoze 
update starts bugging me ;)

The onboard audio device is really nice, true sampling at 96 kS/sec, 
flat audio passband to almost 48 kHz signal frequency, and capable of 
stereo input. The "mic input" can be turned into a real "line input" 
through the configuration.

Cheers,
     Wolf .
