Most netbooks (at least the ones I have seen) are relatively flimsy.
They are not "almost-handheld". They are much larger than that.
I was listing advantages of netbooks over notebooks and laptops, but
size is not one of them, _at_least_for_me_. They are too small. The
screens are too small for my eyesight, the keyboards are too small for
my hands, and so on.
YMMV, I suppose.
The size and weight are extremely important for some of us. I actually have
physical difficulty carrying a laptop + charger etc. for any length of time.
A netbook I can manage.
"YMMV" would be fair enough, but I found that "I suppose" patronising. Not
everyone in the world is male, fully fit and young. Some of us are none of
those.
