The NC10 was a great device for its time -- lightweight, long battery life, nearly full size keyboard. I used it as my primary computing device for years, and would still be using it had it not suffered the pinched display cable problem, and I broke the hinge trying to fix it. What killed the netbook was the ultrabook -- similar weight and battery life, but with a larger display and full size keyboard.
