Mine gets used when I have to make a long trip (I prefer taking that through the airport than lugging my laptop), also when I make a short trip into town and know that I'm going to stop for lunch somewhere ... I also take my Kindle along for both types of travel.
I prefer my netbook for browsing and checking email in bed. Also, I like to have it on when I watch TV in bed (for those quick schedule and IMDB references). It's also nice when I get a quick idea I want to jot down so I don't forget it. My netbook boots a lot faster than my laptop (of course, I also don't keep as many programs on it), and so it's not such a big deal to turn it on, write something down or send a quick email, and then close it and go back to sleep, or talking on the phone, or whatever it was I was doing when I got the idea.
I've found my netbook and Evernote has made keeping a lot of information from getting lost (although, I do wish Evernote would institute a folder and subfolder structure).
