Processing the Kinect can be done on processors as small as Atoms or Arm processors. (Only the most recent generations. )
The Asus EeePc 1215N has enough cpu to do kinect processing and run the navigation stack. And I have even seen demos of the Kinect plugged into a PandaBoard and doing navigation.

Visualizing the point clouds is another topic entirely. This basically requires a discrete graphics card with proper drivers to support 3D acceleration. Though it doesn't require top end ones unless you want to render many frames at once.
