Laptops were designed to replace a PC in terms of mobility. Netbooks were designed to replace a laptop in terms of more mobility... personally i have the same doubt as u, i never understood, why buying a netbook if a smartphone is able to do the same... and better.
if i have these doubt why im getting a m11x? becuase its on the edge.... its small but powerful, which is not the case of the netbooks. i think that netbooks are like iPads... dont get their function at all its like 17- 20 inches laptops... why getting a laptop bigger than you? men... it makes no sense to me having a monster of that size if its a laptop... mobility? they add SSD instead of HDD because a netbook user its suppoused to use it for the web+few apps, the ssd could compensate the lack of power of the CPU, and it reduces dramatically the power consumption -- INTEL 9xx SOLDIERS SANS FRONTIERS
