the article suffers from 'bigger is better' and 'expensive is better' back around 5 years ago, the smaller the laptop, the more expensive it was -- eeepc would have sold for $2000+ if she was available back then ... see sony vaio prices etc asus disrupted the industry by following apple (smaller mac is cheaper) pricing model basically making luxury into commodity so imho netbooks win not (solely) because it's cheap ... there are bigger, more powerful laptops priced like netbook but those don't sell as much ... what gives? 3G netbooks will win big (against cellphones), disrupting telecommunication (now you can be online anywhere, and make cheap long/international call using skype and/or usual way using SIM card, paying carriers if you wish)
