When my thinkpad x201 broke down, I lived with an atom 1.6 Ghz eeePC (1000HE).
It was certainly doable and tweaking the laptop to run on limited resources was fun.
My only real issue was that I couldn't browse with javascript, because the cpu load was crushing the netbook.
Other than that a recent OpenBSD installation used only 128MiB of RAM, with ram usage occasionaly rising to around 280 MiB when I opened firefox.
I still use the netbook as my primary mobile machine. But I think getting a second hand thinkpad again would be a reasonable thing to do.
Although the netbook is perfectly usable, it is really heavy compared to today's standards. That is the only complaint I have for my machine.
