If you want a small, portable laptop - you have to make some sacrifices.

10" is not the end of the world - although 11.6" is much, much nicer imo.

Netbooks have their place for browsing, skype, facebook, etc. But hasn't the whole concept been made redundant since the iPad/Android tablets came along?

Surely it's a choice now between laptop or tablet? Bearing in mind that neither the netbook or tablet are practical alternatives to a full sized laptop.

My daughter bought one of these for doing her work while at college.

More powerfull than an a netbook but small with a good enough battery life for her needs and light enough to be carried to college and back.

She has a larger more powerful laptop for use when at home but to be honest she hasn't used it since she bought this. A lot of her friends have netboooks and aren't happy with the speed of them.

We tested a lot of laptops/netbooks out to make sure she was happy with the feel, keyboards etc and then waited for the sales.
