I'm sick of all this moaning about netbooks
james.faction 17th May 2010
It seems all coverage of netbooks on this site is in one direction. As if they are the bane of everyone's life, as if they are about to become massively unpopular. The opposite seems to be the rule for the iPad; nothing but glowing coverage, as if it's going to "beat" the netbook somehow... As if they aren't in completely different markets.

400 is a tad on the expensive side. Netbooks got popular because they put computing power in the hands who could not otherwise afford one - that's still a really big market. A really really really big market.
