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.
