OK, admit it, who of you had a netbook at one point in the past five years?

My Lil sis was "gifted" one by a relative and she even managed to write several essays with it! For me they are a blight on the computing world. Too small to be productive and too light powered for almost anything. Hmm, maybe I can rejuvenate one by swapping in an ssd...
Honestly the performance of our netbook was pretty decent (had upgraded the RAM and it ran Win XP).
Ironically the top selling "Laptop" on Amazon right now is a ChromeBook.

My Mrs has one at home but rarely uses it after I got her a tablet last year and the netbook battery sucks, bulky size and weight.
I've got a Samsung N110 and I've been using it for over 3 years, its fab. Runs windows 7 pro. Office 2010....I love it. Just to add, it is still a reasonably high spec. computer and cost 320 quid new....still leaves any iPad in its dust...

Im sorry, but a netbook is just a small and light laptop and they havent gone anywhere. They just changed the name to 'ultrabook' to fool some idiots into thinking its something different and they need to buy one.
Ultrabooks target the higher-end market to compete with the Macbook Air and can also feature larger screens (14-15"), so they aren't quite like netbooks which want to be cheap and small; even though some Ultrabook features are similar to those of netbooks so are some features of tablets.
