Hi ! Netbook by definition is for basic tasks like browsing ,e-mail and net-centric functions. If you want cd/dvd and also a huge HD the you should go for regular notebooks. Netbook is not notebook. And Notebooks with small screen sizes like 12' have always been priceier. There is nothing to be sad about netbooks and in fact you should be happy that netbooks put MS is a fix and gave exposure to Linux and open source . And soon Netbooks will be based on ARM processors and Android operating systems which will make them nothing but a glorified cell phone !
