True. But the cheaper laptops tend to be pretty much netbooks in all but size as they're still pretty underpowered.

I don't need a super computer, but I need something that can handle HD streaming video, working with data that has several hundred thousand cases etc. so I'll always have a laptop around. Laptops I've bought (or had bought by work have been in the $1,500 range give or take a couple hundred over the years.

I've never seen the need for having a laptop AND a netbook. But I do see the appeal for desktop folks who just want a portable internet browsing machine for sure.

For me, I definitely want a media tablet to supplement my laptop, as I want something with a form factor for reading, document mark up, use in bed without the heat of a laptop/netbook etc.
