Notice they said build one that is a couple hundred above the price
of many netbooks?
My son paid less than $300 for his (295) This article said 599 &
699, which is the high level of a netbook, and that the author (Who
must be a MFB) would be willing to pay it for the premium of having a
Mac Netbook.
People are assuming these are pieces of crap. They are not. They
are pretty well made, use a smaller screen which is plentiful (ever
seen the portable DVD players? Same size) and do not include and
optical drive and in some cases (at a premium) include a SSD.
My sons included a 120GB drive, and two (count them) two SD card
slots, one for added physical memory and one as a card reader.
Battery on them lasts for a decent amount of time.
They use a decent (albeit low end) processor that is powerful enough
to get what needs to get done on that format machine. (It is a web
machine, word processor etc. NOT a video work station etc.)
It is powerful enough to read and make DVD's and CD' with an external
burner/reader plugged in.

Pundits have been insisting for years that Apple had to build cheap

sell because they were too expensive. Apple has never listened and has
consistently proven the pundits wrong.
