were there any problems?

'netbook' is a mostly obsolete category, they were just low power 1st/2nd generation Atom 10" notebooks with 1024x600 screens and 1-2GB max ram, painfully slow. They've been largely superseded by the Ultrabook category of 13" ultra-slim ultra-light notebooks.

I'd expect the only major compatibility issue with any of these would be the wifi adapter. Most of these small format consumer machines don't even have an ethernet port. Otherwise, they are pretty much bog stock Intel based architecture machines, using Intel integral graphics on the newer Core i3 Mobile processors.
