What the Experts are Saying
"For many in the developing world, the net-centric usage model is probably exactly their main usage and they could benefit from the lower priced basic variants. And for the rest of the matured markets, the netbook's primary appeal lies in the fact that they are far smaller than traditional notebooks and are good intermediary companions during travel with great battery life."

Reviews
Hardware Zone, Singapore | March 5, 2008
"With a far lower powered processor and lower thermal profile, cooling mechanisms of the netbook can be simpler, cheaper and perhaps allow even slimmer and lighter netbooks than the current generation since the battery pack needn't be as powerful too. Think Macbook Air (mini) and that should strike an idea of where and how netbooks can stand to gain in physical evolution with the Intel Atom inside."
