I completely agree. I have been using netbook for the year or so with the solid space and It finally relieved me from carrying a big stone on my sholder.

Moreover, a higher processer carries so many elements which are hardly useful to ordinary users and I am sure that most visually challenged users can function very effectively with some necessary basic configurations and netbooks mostly do fulfill them.
