I bought a late-model eeePC recently, and one of the biggest behavior changes I've noticed is how willing I am to bring it to meetings. I can grab the thing by the bulging battery pack in the back, and because of its small size it doesn't cause any social awkwardness, as some bigger laptops do by creating a 'wall' between myself and the others in the meeting. And because of its size, I carry it around like a small notepad. I think this is why netbooks do deserve their own category: they have a different set of use behaviors associated with them than I have ever done with regular laptops.
