That's what I was wandering too. While I didn't have any sources to link, as far as my experience at university and in general here a lot of people own netbooks and as an estimate, at least 1/3 of students had netbooks as opposed to laptops. I used one (Samsung N130 or something, a bit old) for the first few weeks before I got a new laptop and loved the size and battery life . .
