R on netbooks et al?

With the rise of netbooks and 'lifestyle laptops" I am tempted to get one of these to mainly run R on it. Processor power and hard disk space seem to be ok. What I wonder is the handling and feel with respect to R. Has anyone here installed or is running R on one of these, and if so, what is your experience? Would it be more of a nice looking gadget than a feasable platform to do some stats on?
I've got R on my little EeePC as well. Great for most jobs and I highly recommend a DC/DC convertor for plugging into your car's cigarette lighter to get around the crap battery problem. Jim
