Laptop VS. Netbook for Tuning??

a netbook is a mini laptop, so with that said i would rather have the more compact one (netbook) than a bulky laptop. I use a big laptop and it gets annoying, and you can get very fast netbooks these days. You dont need no more than a dual core 1.8ghz or so with 512mb mem. Thats even excessive, but that will run all programs lag free.
I don't know if it's normal of netbooks or if I just need some add-in or driver, but my netbook doesn't display the graphs in ECUFlash.
Works great other wise though.

I have the Asus EEE. Fine so far. I downloaded a program that lets you EASELY overclock the Atom CPU as well as max out the fan speed. I ususally run the cpu at 1600hz, but you go up to 2000hz. I am still on the stock 1gb RAM stick, but upgrading to 2gb is recommended.

I have used and ACER Aspire one netbook with 10" screen with no issues for logging. Now I do edit ecuflash on a different PC, but for logging the netbook works well. I originally bought it for the car and logging due to size and battery, but seems my only issue recently is getting my wife to let me use MY laptop!!

Yah, a question I can answer. ANY PC based OS and hardware will work as long as you can install the program on it. I would use a windows mobile device if the USB would attach. This program is minimal duty to say the least. As to an APPLE/MAC solution, not sure if the ECU Flash works there or not. I just dont utilize MAC...(shrugs). Those netbooks are sweet and should be the cats meow for the OP. Should be fine.
