- 10 things netbooks still do better than an iPad – Laptop & Notebook computers – I'll personally be sticking with netbooks for a while longer (for several of the reasons mentioned in this article, actually), but what tickled me pink here was the line: "Even the most basic netbook has a 160GB hard drive." My netbook has 4GB. I knew it was a dinosaur at ~2 years old, but damn. Maybe $400 for a newer one wouldn't be so bad.

- A Democracy of Netbooks – I haven't found my netbook to be as revolutionary as Atwood suggests, but mine's an early model, and (I think) more hampered by the limitations of its hardware.
