I think 'netbook' was predominant that anomaly. It was the dawn before low-cost tablets and, to its credit, created a whole new segment in low-cost computing.

I think 'netbook' was predominant that anomaly. It was the dawn before low-cost tablets and, to its credit, created a whole new segment in low-cost computing. Much of those segment are now diverted into iPads and low-cost Android tablets. Too bad Intel focused on 'ultrabook' instead of improving the Atom chip as fast as they could.
