| Speaking of netbooks, where would you draw the line in terms of screen size? I tend to think of a netbook as something 10.4" or smaller, while 12.1" or bigger is a notebook. Or would you use some other form to decide on what makes a netbook a netbook (maybe battery life or form factor)? |
I'd like to think it was a combination of tiny screen (less than 10"), tiny keyboard (less wide than a regular), light weight (about 2 lbs.). Asus pretty much started this with the super-then-cheap Eee's at $300-400. Then they were a little cheaper, then not so much. Most newer models are $400-550 at release, with the exception of the ones that use smaller processors or smaller batteries.
I'm waiting for India or China to get in to this. Can you imagine a $100 netbook sold at Wal-mart? Hell!
