There's a new hype going on in the world of computing. I used to call them 'tiny laptops', but somewhere along the way, Intel's marketing got at me and now I call them netbooks. Every self-respecting manufacturer has a netbook product line, or is about to introduce one (Apple?), so I figured I would take a look at what all the fuss is about: I bought a netbook.

I've been thinking about getting a netbook quite a lot lately.
It's odd that you complain about write performance for _small_ files since this is one area where (in theory) SSDs should do better than HDDs.
Can any expert comment on this?
For me, however, the main reason to choose SSD over HDD is rough handling. An object this small and lite is bound to get dropped. I'd probably forget I put it in my backpack and just drop it on the floor like I always do...
The only reason for me not to buy one this minute is that I don't really travel that much...
