I haven't found one complaint with my new ASUS Netbook except for leaving finger prints all over it... but I got over that issue really quick. The long battery life is awesome! I upgraded to 2GB and purchased the external DVD drive. I would definitely recommend this Netbook.

Most of my work in my laptop (most, not all) is over the internet and I'm pretty sure its the same with most of the people out there. If netbooks were to come out say, 2-3 years back, NO ONE would get the idea (and frankly I'm surprised some don't now either). for example the market of Smartphones vs. MID .. It just isn't gonna make a big difference now as its practically of less use to the masses at the moment. Convergence is a great thing, but ergonomics has a Huge role to play in it. I agree netbooks have a good balance between ergonomics and practical use. I’ll have to agree with you .
