Netbook's are fine. It was a joke. However, I have gone from 15" -> 8.9" -> 12" and don't want to go "back down".
As it transpires, my 8.9" had a greater resolution (HP 2133 @ 1366x768) than my 12 (HP TX2 @ 1280x800), but I'd take the greater screen size any day. I got to a point where I was ripping my eyeballs out with the 8.9" - the text was just too small! (& I'm under 30.) However, I didn't want to sacrifice resolution. My 12" fits my requirements almost perfectly.
However, each to his own... especially if you can AdBlock (or otherwise) huge Hexus Sig's...
