<br>
My main complaint is that these machines are not that different from<br>
desktops, so why strip down Firefox and other programs?! It's<br>
retarded to think netbook = pda. It's really an ultra portable<br>
desktop. The main benefit is that you can use it off-and-on during<br>
the day, wherever you are, instead of going to your desktop because<br>
it's so portable; therefore it's always there with you. Regular<br>
laptops are really desktops in a different form factor and have lousy<br>
battery life( and hour or two) and weigh so much and are so large that<br>
they are not really portable at all because you wind up leaving them<br>
behind. The weight and size of a regular laptop are so discouraging I<br>
have stopped carrying them with me and are only using them on my<br>
couch, home bathroom, and in my bed.<br>
<br>
