To echo what others have said, cost wasn't a consideration when I bought my first netbook a year or so ago--or my second one a few weeks ago.
I carry a netbook because it's small, light, and runs all day on a charge. Netbooks still fit the bill for those requirements.
An iPad? No thanks. I prefer a keyboard for extensive typing, Flash is kind of important to me, and I need full integration with my organization's Active Directory infrastructure.
