I plan on getting a netbook being a a University student and a programmer, so having Linux as my main OS on something that can let me take notes, check my email and browse the internet while giving me a fantastic programming environment is perfect. And I can also play Starcraft on it because of how small the requirements are (Wine helps out here too). I think Netbooks are a good second or third computer, as long as you have something powerful as well and not just a netbook.

I think we should buy the computers according to the work that has to be done on them because than only will it be appropriate to use.

I'm shopping for a netbook because my XP notebook is dying. I have a large herd of external devices that aren't Vista compatible, and I am not prepared to throw them all out just because Microsoft wants me to try Vista. I can't find a decent new XP laptop at a decent price, but there are some good looking XP netbooks out there. It's absurd that consumers aren't allowed to buy what they want. The computer industry shouldn't be surprised that people snap up alternative technologies.

I am buying a netbook, given its portability options relative to a notebook. This is going to be the device of the future.

I bought a netbook to hold me over while the Sony TT stablilizes and the prices drop a bit. I’m not sure if I am ever going to buy the TT. I have a good home desktop and work desktop. For my occasional business trips, it is fine. I don’t have to put on client shows or anything. It is all I need to check my e-mail, surf, blast out a report, or even watch my home TV via Slingbox. More importantly, I don’t have to guard it like the crown jewels. I encrypted my harddrive with Truecrypt and have done an image backup. I don’t want the machine to get stolen or broken, but it will be a headache (not a heart attack) if it does.

Of course the big companies are not liking this trend, where poeple buy small computers instead of big clunky ones that have way more capabilities than they need. The big companies could have come out with these netbooks years ago, but it took the smaller companies, Acer and Asus to start the ball rolling, and now the big companies are only jumping in to save their market share.
