As some of you may have noticed, I'm slightly obsessed with my Aspire One netbook, and actually, with netbooks in general. They are great little devices, more powerful than you'd give them credit for upon first encounter. And, but that might just be me, netbooks are what laptops should have been from day one: truly portable. El Reg has put together a buyer's guide for today's netbooks, and while the guide is generally spot-on with its assessments, it does present some odd choices here and there. Read on for some of my own thoughts grown out of experience.

Because the manufacturers are lazy and risk adverse?
Remember that not so long ago, they made the users pay a premium for small laptop even though the smaller screen ought to make it cheaper..
If you look at the OLPC XO-1, it's full of inovation reducing significantly the power usage and allowing the screen to be readable even on sunny days, these could be done easily in regular laptops also, but don't hold your breath: remember manufacturers are lazy and risk adverse :-(
