Now I know that a iPad isn't the most rugged thing out there, but I think most of those netbooks would be destroyed pretty quickly. an iPad just has the glass to wipe off if it gets dirty, otherwise, it's mostly sealed inside. Those netbooks would collect so much dirt and dust inside the keyboard, and inside the case.

Plus, an iPad, with a bigger screen (not that it's huge) is much better for document viewing than a small netbook with a tiny screen.
