I disagree because I think there are two fundamental drives to the Netbook craze that are not dependent on the recession. 1. Netbooks typically are not the main laptop of the user.

As computers get more powerful, more and more people are finding that most applications can run without massive computing power. Thus, people are starting to find Netbooks to be a much better value than their more expensive counter-parts.
