This page references the processors as "or equivalent" and the atoms in the newer eeePCs are usually 1.6GHz, meaning they'd fall some where in the middle between the minimum requirements. Meaning, yes it'd would most likely run, but rather glitchily, especially if you were trying to run it as a dashboard.

I second this recommendation. A netbook is nice because it is portable, but since LabVIEW is a very graphical language, every bit of screen space is valuable, and performance is a must. Buy a laptop with a good carrying bag and good battery life and it's practically as portable as netbook, in my experience, even with a 15" screen.

P.S.: Maybe get one of these
