why do you guys like netbooks? price? portability? the combo? i use a dell xps m1210 and it is almost as small as a netbook but powerful enough to do anything a desktop can do. I did consider buying a netbook to take back and forth to work, but when i played with one at the local staples store the tiny little keyboard drove me insane( i believe it was a acer one 8.9") and the prce was comparable to a full size laptop on sale. i have also considered buying them for my smaller children, do they perfom well with online flash games? will they play games such as half life? and are they pretty sturdy?
