Netbooks vs the Accordion Guy

JoeydeVilla

Joey deVilla (The Accordion Guy from MSDN Canada) has started a crusade against Netbooks:
Fast Food Apple Pies and Why Netbooks Suck
Like I Said, Netbooks Suck
Netbooks, R.I.P.

Owning a Netbook, I feel like I should jump in and say that I love mine.  Of course, I don’t use it as my main computer, I have another laptop.  I use it on the road when I travel by airplane or train.  I’m OK with the slow processing because I’m not programming on it full time.  I use it to catch emails, read documents and watch movies while on the road.  I use it to present when I don’t need a fully beefed up laptop.  It’s light enough that carry it even if I don’t need to bring a laptop with me.  Best of all, Windows 7 runs as fast as XP on it! 

I guess it’s a matter of perception.  If I go see this movie:

Transformers2

I don’t except to see this:

Potemkin

We do live in a giant zone of suck, blame it on advertising.

My only pet peeve if with the poor battery life of the 3-cell battery (more on this in another post).
