[citation][nom]mman74[/nom]I don't get a lot of this anti-Chrome sentiment. It's a Netbook. You aren't going to run 3D games on it. You aren't going to type out massive reams of document on it (not unless you want writer's cramp). You are mainly going to surf on the move.Low overhead OS, on a low power CPU, at a very low price (i.e. free).Netbooks and Chrome are a match made in heaven.[/citation]
If the only purpose of the netbook is to surf on the move, then you might as well buy a decent smart phone, as they are even smaller. I think netbooks are meant to be the in between of the smart phone and a regular laptop, if they are not providing any more functionality than a smart phone, then what's the point? This is why I feel like netbooks long term success is futile, smartphones are getting exceedingly more powerful and powerful laptops are getting exceedingly more cheap and energy efficient.
