The point of netbooks
is that they are cheap, portable second computers. More expensive portable computers may sell and they may sell well, but they are not competing with the same market. Customers would only want to drop more money for a portable computer if it were going to be their primary household (or work) computer. They are not going to get one of these so that they can relinquish the primary computer to the kids for homework, or to give to their kids for homework, or to bring on the road to merely stay in touch but not have a complete workload to worry about.
