Netbooks and Fansubs

I am not positive that I have this in the correct subforum, so forgive me if it's misplaced.

I'm looking at purchasing a netbook computer for various different tasks in the near future, primarily for my writing, but also to have a second computer to use in bed, on the couch watching TV or when I travel.

Most of these netbooks have the Intel Atom N270 processor at 1.6GHz; at least the one I'm looking at does. I'm wondering, if anyone here owns a netbook with the Intel Atom N270 could comment on the machine's performance when watching fansubs?

I get most of my stuff in the .mkv container, and I try to get the higher quality releases, so I'm most interested in how well this works on the netbook platform--do these small computers play back smoothly without skipping audio and video?
