Then 36 hours later he'll say the screen's not big enough, give me my 15-inch back," said Dell, according to IDG."He has a point and I think he is right on this one for at least most people.[/citation]
Not for me!
I love the size of the 9" netbooks, but only dislike the small resolution.
They could have increased the resolution on 10" netbooks to 1280x720 or similar, without causing too much eyestrain to the user.
In essence, what most people want is see all their information on one screen, preferably without scrolling.
A bump in screensize is not the solution if it does not go together with a bump in resolution as well.
Besides many of the netbooks' hardware is made for 720p video's; it would also make sense to match the screens as well!
So to me, the only disappointment is the resolution.
And like some users have mentioned, a netbook is not a notebook, and does not replace a notebook!
It's a lightweight, small, very affordable device to read documents, do some light browsing and document editing, and at best watch a 720pmovie with it.
It is not created to watch blueray video's, or play the latest games.
But even still, it performs better than a Wii. Why then are there so little comments about Nintendo's Wii (which is slower than a netbook)?
