I usually don't use DrRacket but Racket itself runs fine on a EeePC
701, which is for sure less powerful than any netbook you can buy
today (the EeePC has a 900MHz proc (which seems to be underclocked to
630MHz) and only 512MB of ram !).

I just tried to launch DrRacket and it seems to be fine and usable,
even on the the small 7" screen.

Having said that, I suppose that the fact that I'm not running Windows
but a light GNU/Linux distribution can make a difference.
