While solid state drives are very well suited for netbooks from a power efficiency viewpoint, they pose problems when it comes to capacity (and performance, but that's another matter). In order to combat this issue, MSI has launched a new netbook with a hybrid approach to storage: it has a solid state drive for the operating system and applications, and a conventional hard drive for storage.

Surely I cannot be the only one for whom size and weight is the main selling point of a netbook, not price. What I want is a small, 1 kg laptop, and I'd happily pay $500-800 for one with great performance and battery life.
To me netbooks and full size laptops are two different product ranges. If I'm in the market for a netbook I'm not going to get something large and heavy instead just because it's a bit cheaper.
