Financial Times' "how to spend it" magazine defined netbooks well on
their Sept. 19, 2009 "technopolis" page. The prose is
delightful--describes the attraction perfectly:
Samsung N310 Mini-Notebook
"It's only two years since the word "netbook" emerged to describe a
mini, handbag/man-bag-sized laptop designed primarily for working on
basic documents, e-mailing, web browsing and accessing web-based
applications. It all took off with those clever Taiwanese at Asus and
their seemingly Yorkshire-inspired "Eee" (as in "by gum") models, and
now they're everywhere. In every airport lounge, hotel lobby and even
business-class section I have been in lately, netbooks have outnumbered
regular laptops. They are also superb for watching BBC iPlayer; the
small screen makes the picture look better, plus the miniature scale
makes them, if I may say, great in bed...
...Plenty of choice, then, but for style, it has to be the Samsung [N310]."
