A problem with my current laptop is it's really too big to fit into my

I'm musing a Netbook. The one I'm considering has 3 USB 2.0,
"802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi CERTIFIED and 10/100 Ethernet LAN connectivity",
320GB hard-drive, 4GB DDR3, a "multi-in-1" reader and Windoze7 64bit
for less than $400.
Processor speed is kind of slow at 1.0Ghz & it shares main memory with
the video processor (256MB dedicated to an ATI Radeon HD 6290).
It might be where I can finally use Lightroom. It's supposed to work
better with less memory than Photoshop does, but it got me to
wondering if there is other image viewing/processing software I might
consider instead.
Other question - there's no CD/DVD, so how the heck would I install
Lightroom? ... or whatever?
Personally, I would not save any raw files as PEF's. I transfer the
PEF's to my PC (desktop or laptop) and use Adobe DNG converter to
convert them to DNG. Those are the files I keep, the PEF's are tossed.
Any competent viewing and editing program should be able to open DNG's.
I use Adobe CS4 and Thumbs Plus 7 on my rather old (2005) laptop and it
chews through anything I send to it just fine. I figure DNG's will be
accessible for a long time. PEF's, or an other proprietary raw format -
not so much.
