As for why manufacturers don’t make netbooks… it’s a fair point if you’re only looking at the major PC makers I guess, but overall they actually do! Think GPD Pocket series, One Mix series, (soon) MNT Pocket Reform. It’s a niche, but the hardware exists!
- jamesgeck0 4y agoMicrosoft makes two netbook adjacent devices! The Surface Go is a netbook with a tablet form factor. And the Surface Laptop SE is an (admittedly slightly large) netbook.

- marttt 4y agoI wonder if this indicates that refurbished netbooks actually would have some aftermarket value, for "niche people" or more capable Linux users at least. Maybe they would run into driver issues, though.
