The battery life and lack of heat are also huge. As is the processing power. I've yet to use a Netbook that didn't suck at streaming video, which is a big use for me. Watched two TV shows on the ABC player in bed last night on my girlfriend's iPad. Much better than having the hot laptop in bed.

I will say this about my netbook. It has ALWAYS handled video fine. In fact we have streamed netflix no prob to my HDTV and it looked fine. I think netbooks catch a lot of flack due to flash issues. Thats the same reason Jobs has pretty much banned flash. Having said that, a netbook in bed watching vid will heat up somewhat so its better used in winter
