I believe that the netbook is one of the best inventions in many years. I have owned an ASUS and a Samsung, both are absolutely awesome.
I do not think that the laptop is dead by a long shot, but more and more people will likely look for devices without keyboards, and use wireless external keyboards as needed. I am currently using an ExoPC and I love it. The ipad is off the table for me due to the intentional restrictions and missing features. I believe that the future will be Windows tablets/slates. Only now is the hardware technology advanced enough to allow thin/light Windows/Intel slates with decent battery life...
