the ubuntu on chromebook thread is what made me ask here, but the chromebook isn't a 10" screen, is it? i thought it was much larger. but i will check your link - i didn't realise there were multiple models.
[update: the acer and samsung are 11.6" and i can find a bunch of similar notebooks with that size screen. what i really wanted was a 10" screen. but thanks!]
- dragonwriter 13y agoOkay, if you want 10" screen that's a bit hard to find, but "netbooks" were never limited to 10" screens (11.6" was a fairly common screen size for products sold as netbooks.) The role seems largely to have been taken over by Chromebooks -- Microsoft never really wanted the market to exist and the hardware vendors seem to prefer having an OS vendor to work with. But among notebooks (including ones that are similar to netbooks, whether they are sold as "netbooks" or not) 10" screen size seems to have died off because at that size, the preference is for tablets (possibly with keyboard cases to let them be used like a netbook) rather than traditional notebook form factor.
