Study: Consumers still prefer regular notebooks over netbooks

It's the price for performance issue. Netbooks are ok for a few basic tasks however you can get a low end laptop for not much more that does quite a bit more. As smartphones have been adding features and capablities, why buy just a netbook?

What I found interesting is that 40% apparently will buy a netbook as their next PC. That's a pretty high number IMO. It means that for a lot of people, netbooks are good enough, even with all their limitations.

Indeed, the whole point behind their next PC is as in replacing your current one (Desktop or Notebook) for a netbook, that I find interesting as well, it means some people are starting to think and not preffer the newest shiniest and most powerful ever thinked to for... facebook and chat on msn messenger.

Thumbs up for them!
