Well, my experience may vary from yours, but I have written reams and reams on various netbooks, including my own, in sessions lasting up to four or five hours. I find being able to type with two hands on a responsive keyboard a more pleasant experience than tapping with one hand on a flat glass plate while holding it in the other, or propping the slate up on something to get a reasonable angle for two-handed use, while at the same time cutting down the available screen real estate with an on-screen keyboard.

A friend of mine now travels with a separate Bluetooth keyboard for his iPad and two strange pieces of orange foam which are designed to prop the iPad up at a suitable angle. I can't help thinking his life would be simpler with a good netbook or convertible.
