If Apple's willing to devote that kind of keynote real estate to the subject, the least we can do is spend a podcast talking about it.

Even so, I just bought my first netbook, the Samsung N120. Why did I wait so long? (Several reasons.) And was it worth the wait? (Absolutely.) Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:31:00 GMT (James A.

However, we can't blame netbooks for that. We can only blame vendors who overhype and customers who underbuy. Before you buy a smaller, cheaper and less powerful netbook, determine if you need a notebook instead. If so, you can spend about the same money and get more power, albeit in a larger package.
