It is quite obvious to me that no one really wants a NETbook. Look, people SAY they only need the internet, and all that. But let's be honest...Web based applications perform terribly compared to Client based applications. They perform even more terribly when the browser is powered by a sloooow processor....such as..the Atom. Client applications do not perform the same these machines either....because the hardware is built to be slow.
Personally, I have no idea why anyone would want a netbook. I see a need for a small form factor full powered notebook..but taking away the power along with the size = Junky (didn't Apple tell us this)
Anyway, these vendors will always sell junk for cheap prices...are people so stupid as to not pay a small upcharge to get a real laptop? It is generally less than $100 difference...netbooks in their current config..make no sense.
