It couldn’t be forever: ten pound plus notebooks which aimed to rival performance desktops where size, weight and battery were of no concern. It is no wonder how popular netbooks are today. Sure you can’t just sit down in a cafe and explore the galaxy in Mass Effect 2, and yes it is true that may cause some inconvenience, but so is lugging around a cinderblock. In fact, I would go so far as to say that a device which weighs as much as a hardcover book and is in form factor that is a bit more convenient: that being: flatter and less depth, which can perform the vast majority of computational tasks one would require is quite a convenient device. Well of course, with the explosion in netbook sales and the sheer number of models now offered.
