Hardware, Embedded Systems The NPD group has done a study into customer satisfaction among netbook buyers, and they came to some surprisingly unsurprising results. As it turns out, people who expected a notebook when they bought a netbook were more likely to be disappointed than buyers who set out to buy a netbook from the get-go. No doodoo, Sherlock.

People who expected a Ford when they purchased a Trabant were disappointed with their purchase.
Seriously, people get paid to do research like this?

oh god, don't even bring up trabants. If the US government has anything to do about it, we will end up with the american version being produced by GMAC... bleh


anyways, I adore my mini9 ;) But I see lots of people buying netbooks and then getting pissed because the screens are so small or they dont have optical drives, etc etc. People need to do more research before buying.
