I think the big reason Apple hasn't experienced a decline in Macbook sales is the 13" Macbook is a really good mix of performance, usability and portability. <5lbs, thin, fast, good battery life. My assumption is most netbooks are being bought as a secondary machine to compliment either a desktop or a bulky 7-10lbs PC laptop that may perform well but is definitely not super portable. So let's say someone spends $500-$600 for the primary computer and another $300-$400 on the netbook. That adds up pretty close to the sticker price of a Macbook 13" which can legitimately serve both purposes as a primary computer and a highly portable computer. Is there really that much difference between 10"/3lbs and 13"/5lbs? I don't think so. (can't pocket it, you're probably using a laptop case or bag to transport it anyway. 2"/2lbs isn't a big deal)
