It's all about perspective though, you mention having to drag a netbook with you when you travel, well when I travel with work I will always need to take a proper laptop with me and as such the form factor of my 505 is the perfect complement to it and it is not competing for bagspace against a bigger and heavier netbook, it is competing against the paperback book I would otherwise be carrying.
