I've been asked by a number of people if you can run digitizing software on a netbook.
Here's the quick answer: yes.
This answer comes with a proviso. If you purchase a netbook with a small screen (i.e. smaller than 11 inches) you can run the software, but you'll have a hard time seeing what you're trying to digitize on the screen. With some netbooks, if the screen is too small, you won't be able to view the whole user interface at the same time or important parts of the interface will be covered by other minimized elements.
If you have an external screen that you can connect when you're doing most of your digitizing at your primary desk, this shouldn't be an issue. If this is going to be your only screen, I would strongly suggest using a netbook/laptop with a minimum screen size of 14 inches.
