I would agree with this.

you must be thinking about first gen netbooks. There 2nd gen and the new 3rd gen devices that are convertible and the screen folds down to make the device into a tablet like form. Also they have touch screens which you can use with finger or stylus.

Once again... the 3rd gen netbooks have 6 to 8 hour batter life, have the more powerful Atom chips, some with dual core. Of course, how much power do you need in a net book to display a PDF file with FoxIt reader? Underpowered is relative to what you try to run on it. For example... a Linux based OS will probably be much faster on a netbook than Windows every could be.
