The screen real estate always bites you (as stated in the article). 9/10 inches is just not good enough for all the Mac UI.

- elai 17y agoIf high res 9/10" screens work great although. (Like w/ the dell mini 10)
- igorgue 17y agoYou mean the Mac UI is not good for small screen right :)?
- NathanKP 17y agoYeah the Mac UI is designed for the widescreen format. And I don't believe there has been a widescreen netbook yet, am I right? I think a few months ago someone posted here on HN about a "Hello Kitty" looking netbook that had very impressive screen resolution but even it didn't have widescreen format if I remember correctly.
- edmccaffrey 17y agoI couldn't find one that isn't widescreen on Dell's, HP's or Asus' website. Even the old Asus EEE PC 701 (the model that arguably started it all) is widescreen.
- blasdel 17y agoThe whole netbook format owes its existence solely to the market being utterly flooded with portable DVD player LCDs -- those awful 7" 800x480 screens cost ASUS less than $5 each!
