They're not cheaper where I live. I went from shop to shop recently and almost all of them cost €400-450 in local currency. I've got a 15.4" laptop, and I've been carrying it to work to record attendance, calculate grades and run presentations, but laptop + handouts for over 40 students + corrected homework is too heavy for me to carry. I walk to work and back and it takes me 15-20 minutes, depending on the weather. We get a lot of snow in the winter, and I worry about slipping and breaking my costly machine. I just want something light, with some basic functions. I don't care about versatility, I have my laptop for that. Price is also a huge factor: the IQ is €160, and that's a €240 difference.
How much does a netbook cost where you live?
