Re: Interesting.

Thats part of my point. Why would the masses buy a netbook for say $350, when they could get a laptop for $450 with good enough hardware to run any app. (except the high end games).

Whats next...the I-netbook from Mac with touchscreen on AT&Ts 3G network....oh oh...I better go patent that idea.

1 edit		 I was lucky enough recently to purchase a Toshiba (2.16GHz Celeron ) with 17" screen, 3GB RAM / Vista Home and DVD RW for $399 from Wal-Mart. Haven't seen it again.
HP already has a touch screen PC/Laptop.

you never had a netbook huh? they have solid state harddrives, weigh hardly nothing and are small enough to fit anywhere.. noone wants to carry around a bulky and heavy full scale laptop if their just gonna be browsing the web and watching a few movies. Netbooks do run just about any app except for high end games anyway
