I would go even further and say that for the less technologically inclined folks (such as my mother, who got another u100 as her first computer), a netbook is sufficient to meet one's needs. Unless one has something specific in mind they need a desktop or a high end laptop for, I think netbooks are a better deal.
But then again, this is getting into the "how much computer is enough" thread territory.
