I took a trip to Europe, first trip in years without a laptop. All I had was my iPhone and at no point did I feel disconnected. Was able to follow the Wimbledon final, check out webcams to see mountain conditions, keep tabs on places I usually keep tabs on (including this one). My laptop is where I do things in bunk (everything from recording music and editing video to writing code and crunching through 100's of emails). Of course, everyone is different, but just as "stay connected" devices, I've always wondered where netbooks fit in. That description you just provided, easily fits a top notch smartphone today. Heck you can even ssh into running machines and check their state.
