I'm in the market for a new laptop and have been wondering about these "netbook" things. Storage was always the issue I had with them, but if you can get a 160 gig drive thats not bad.
What are the drawbacks of getting one compared to a regular laptop? Obviously the portability is great, but in terms of performance, all I do is manage my music and media, surf the net, check email, etc. Do netbooks do all that efficiently enough?
Also, right now I've got a 15.4 screen...not sure if going to an 8.9" would maybe be a bit too small...I'd be using this thing daily.
