My company provides most employees with laptops. We are pressed to take

Yes, but the middle ground appears to be named cheap. Consider the
number of people with high levels of debt and then the shrinking number
of jobs; personal computer buying appears to be at least 75% el-cheapo.

Is there some middle ground
Most graphic cards can run at least a moderately-large monitor. The
days when few PC laptops can do this are long-gone. Apple includes a
high-end graphics card in all but the low-end, but low-end cards will
drive a decent sized monitor.

Considering what a netbook is intended for, limiting it to three open full

you from installing a different edition of Win7 on it. It's just intended to

Apple has always aspired to satisfy a demanding clientele; so I don't
think elitist is appropriate. Why would they market a product that
targets lowest prices when they can't meet the objective of satisfying
customer expectations for their brand? Why is that elitist?

Nah. iPhone runs Open Office or a similar full-featured word processor?
