Even though laptops are inexpensive now as well, the small size is certainly popular. I keep my Asus EEE PC in the glovebox of my car. It's SSD can take a beating, having dropped it many times without incident! My small investment of about $300 last year was worth it, though I don't use it has much as my desktop and other laptop. It's great for taking to Starbucks or even putting it in my wife's purse to have just in case we hit a hotspot, but I can't do much in terms of real work on mine since it's as Asus EEE 2GB surf with only a 7 inch screen. Everything about it is fine, except the screen resolution. I may upgrade someday to one with 1024x768 so I can see full sites. That's my only real complaint and most netbooks have been upgraded now to this resolution.
