Now your survey is saying that more users could care less about the baggage, give it back to them. I believe what everyone really wishes they could have is what was termed years before the netbook – the sub-notebook or ultra-portables.

These sub-notes or ultra-portables were super expensive way back when (early 2000 and until today) and only the guys and companies with deep pockets could afford. You can still find some of these today. Bigger screens, full-sized keyboards, and faster processors, yet just slightly heavier than 1kg or even less than can be found in the – Toshiba R600, Panasonic Let’s Note T8 and Sony’s Viao TT series. The downside is you won’t be picking up one of these for under SGD2,000 or even SGD3,000.

So, what’s my point? Well, maybe Lenovo has looked at the numbers and don’t feel they can meet demand given the price point is right up there with a full-sized notebook. A 12-inch netbook may erode the sales of their other 12 and 13-inch models and perhaps their margins are does not justify since they cannot go asking for the extra premium.

Anyway, just my humble opinion on this topic.

Personally, I don’t mind the 10-inch netbooks just give me longer battery life and when I say longer, I really mean longer, like 12 to 15 hours of non-stop use. This would equate to a full working day and then some without having to scrounge for a power point to juice it back. Wait until McD or any of the coffee houses start asking you to pay for plugging in. Here’s a point worth asking. Does plugging in your device to be charged on private property constitute theft, especially if you didn’t ask? Like taking water from the void deck water point is considered a no-no as is picking fruits from government land.

Sometimes, having a slightly bigger screen is useful for presentations and surfing
