This forum is for amiga users. It may come as a surprise to some, but most amiga users also own and have interests involving other systems too. They are perfectly free to talk about them in the forum areas for other platforms, such as this one.

I personally would rather not visit this website click new posts and be exposed to mac/linux/win news and propaganda. Plenty of other places to go for that.


Propaganda? :roflmao: That's being a bit excessivet, isn't it?

Back on topic, netbooks are losing steam because they gradually got bigger, more powerful and more expensive. They are trying to take on laptops but cant because the value just isn't there any more.

I still have a 7" eeepc and for the uses I need it for it does a great job. Its a tiny little thing that didn't cost an arm and a leg.


Strange that having complained about it, you still see fit to contribute to this propagandist thread :p Seriously though, I think you're right here. Netbooks have perhaps "lost their way" so to speak, confusing themselves with notebooks.

I expect the niche they originally filled will soon become overrun with pad type devices.
