CNET: What is a Netbook computer?

Cimg0893Netbooks are big news and they are here to stay.  News about netbooks is always hot and we all clamor for word of the latest and greatest netbook coming along.  What isn’t clear is how to define a netbook?  We’ve discussed that in the past and we always seem to gravitate toward size and cost being the primary criteria determining if a device is a netbook or not.  Michael Horowitz of CNET realized it is a good time to define exactly what makes a device a netbook and has published a good overview of the netbook space.  His article defines a top price point of $500 for a device to be considered a netbook and I agree with that assessment.  Of course Kevin is still holding out for that $800 Apple netbook.  The article does as thorough a job describing the current netbook space as any I have seen so check it out if little notebooks float your boat.
