My ASUS netbook fills my niche: small (10.1"), light, fully-functional, plenty of storage (160+ GB), long battery life (6+ hrs), wifi, cost-effective (~$200). Plus it has replaceable parts: battery, disk, RAM, keyboard, wifi. That combination of features makes it ideal for frequent travel. Given that Netbooks won't be around for much longer, what alternatives are there for the <11" laptop-like device? Tablet + keyboard?
