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.

Isn't the MBA close to a pound heavier than typical "netbooks"? If the Air is a sub-notebook, then the Eee (et al) are sub-sub-notebooks.
Eh? I doubt anyone is going to find that shocking. Low-resolution isn't unusable by any means - nor his high resolution inherently "good", as evidenced by all of the Dells, Compaqs, etc, with 17" displays with ridiculously-low pixel density.
That doesn't seem to have hampered them too much with the iPhone.
IMO, the biggest reason why Apple *probably* won't release a netbook is that selling something with such low profit-margins would be completely antithetical to their business model.
