Just bought one to compliment my powerful desktop system. I found the conventional 10″ netbooks too small in both screen size and keyboards for me – this 12″ is exactly what I was looking for! Bigger yet still portable, and with a netbook price. More RAM, processor speed, and better graphics were just icing on the cake for me.
AMD does not classify this as a netbook CPU, so this isn’t a netbook, just a small laptop.
To answer your question, I want something small that I am still able to type/work on. Netbooks simply do not have that capability.
I’m not sure I understand the whole point of having a netbook with more graphics capabilities…I mean at that point, why not get a full-fledged laptop?
