Yes, I have DrRacket on my netbook with Windows 7.
It's a HP Mini with an Atom processor, I think 1.6GHz, only 1GB of RAM,
1024x600 10" screen.

Yes, it works fine. Of course for more complex programs/computations you'll
want something more powerful, but to go through the Racket teaching
materials that hardware is enough.

It also works OK on Linux (I have dual boot on the netbook).

I even run Slideshow presentations on my netbook! I believe it can work
well for your son!
