I'm looking for a small, light laptop/netbook (with Windows), that won't choke on Calibre and Sigil. Liked Acer Aspire One looks and price, but somebody here mentioned that it has trouble running Calibre. As Calibre (and Sigil) are the ones I'll definitely want to use when away from my PC, that point is important. I don't need all my books on the road...

What should I look for? Processor?
Also, I'd like it to have at least SD-slot and several USB-s.

So, does anyone here have a good (or bad) user experience with Calibre on netbook?

TIA,

Remember: Intel/AMD processor unless you want to seriously jump through hoops. (did not think so )

Calibre will run on a old P4, but it really likes my newer AMD Turion II based Toshiba Laptop (17" desktop replacement) for conversions (the fan seriously kicks on). Remember: If that fan is running, so is the battery consumption
