What do you do with a netbook? It's too small for day to day
computing. So what do you do? Email? Web surfing? Find
restaurants? Directions? Tweet? Wall scribbles on Facebook?
You write this condescending BS, but can't understand why people
think Mac users are elitist?
My son has one. He does not use it for tweeting or Facebook wall
scribbling. He takes it to high school. It fits easily in his
backpack because it's smaller than most of his textbooks. He uses it
for note-taking, homework, projects, reports, and research (much of
all this stuff being done at school). He has no difficulty in typing
on it. It's perfect for his needs. He loves it. His friends are all
jealous...
I'm sure your son loves his small inexpensive notebook, and it does what
he needs. I've been considering one, too. Some are quite nice and
convenient. They're simply not netbooks, except in the new redefinition.
I'm not being condescending. I'm annoyed that instead of using an
accurate description of a product, marketing depts. too often redefine
names of existing products to confuse people, either because of laziness
on their part or deliberate obfuscation. This is another example of that.
