Netbooks are for feeble people who are too weak to carry a "real" laptop.  ;)

I don't see the attraction of an underpowered machine with a screen you need to squint at.  I'll stick to the AmigaOne X1000/500 until they bring out a proper laptop with an energy guzzling CPU that drains the battery in less than 2 hours, a minimum 17" display and a full keyboard (just like my PC laptop).
A2000, A3000, 2 x A1200T, A1200, A4000Tower & Mediator, CD32, VIC-20, C64, C128, C128D, PET 8032, Minimig & ARM, C-One, FPGA Arcade... and AmigaOne X1000.

I widely detest netbooks - I find them to be an underpowered scourge even running Linux, lol.  I hope this one is better.


Glad I'm not the only one.

@ CommodoreJohn & Desiv:

Fair points.  It all boils down to how you want to use your laptop/netbook/notebook/etc.

For me, I use my laptop as a desktop replacement while I'm away on business so I want a nice, big display and lots of pretty graphics when I'm playing games.  

Plus I need lots of storage space for my porn.  :D
