Beware of the "GMA500" aka "Poulsbo" graphics chipset used in some
netbooks which has pretty much no support whatsoever.  Most other things
can be made to work without too much trouble, AFAIK.
I'd also recommend against NVidia GPUs since they do not help
development of a Free Software driver, contrary to Intel and ATI.
