Samsung NC10 netbook running ArcView
I wasn't sure enough if my NC10 was stout enough to run ArcView. However, it has 2GB of RAM and the processor just meets the 1.6GHz minimum listed on ESRI's system requirements. The NC10 actually did pretty well - MXDs opened in a typical amount of time, screen refreshes were among the faster I have seen, and a 100,000+ record parcel attribute table opened no slower than on my workstations. The only area where the NC10 seemed slow was using the Identify tool on that parcel layer I mentioned earlier. I was later able to connect my Bluetooth GPS receiver to show my position in ArcView.
