I know next to nothing about netbooks, but from this article, sounds
like they are great for basic web functions and they are very portable
(not a brick). Down side, small display, and many other functions a full
OS gives you. As for waiting, depends on your needs. Of course, waiting
will usually get you increased capacity, speed and function at cheaper
prices.

Thanks for posting this. Guess I should think about waiting a little while
before getting a laptop?

The paper edition title is: Laptops? So Yesterday
Point of article is netbooks are really hot and growing.
Bad news for Intel and MS; they use cellphone processors and Linux.
MS posted first sales decline in its history for the PC version of Windows,
blaming netbooks for the drop.
Also, even laptops will get thinner and lighter and cheaper (although we
could have guessed that).
Article is well worth reading.
