Battery life is no better because the battery is (generally) smaller
although larger batteries are available at a cost.
Other than that, there are no real technical issues, it's a laptop with
a small screen/keyboard and an Intel Atom processor.

What's the benefit of net-books?
Size, weight, battery life?
they are cheaper, but not that much - cheapest 15" notebooks are $280...320.
CPU and memory are also not as good as in notebooks.
Where you gonna use it?
If someone tested net-book+radio configuration and it runs no problem 100% -
I can be convinced that there is no reason to pay more for notebook and
carry more weight to some DX country.
