The only reason I wanted to buy a netbook is because I thought it would be cheaper, lighter and (obviously) smaller.
I heard that the netbook I'm getting is going to have a webcam, ability to get on the internet through wi-fi and run faster then a regular laptop.
Scotty:
Netbooks will never run faster than a laptop.
Laptops give you much more overall. Netbooks are underpowered little windows to the web. That is all.

O_o Err...ok.

I have a netbook (alongside my desktop which I'd never replace) and I'm surprised at how well it handles well...anything, to be honest.
I've had games and all sorts running on it and minus a few issues it seems to run pretty decently and can handle a fair few things running. I've had it running for a few days straight before and it seemed okay, though I think it might have bluescreened on me once or twice overnight in the months I've had it.
I mainly got it because it was cheap, light and small and I needed something I could just slide in a backpack and take places when I stay over etc. but considering I wasn't expecting much more than something that struggled to run firefox I was pretty surprised and I'm kind of happy with it.
That and I wasn't the one paying for it.
Scotty:
Well, when you do pay for one with your own money, you'll feel different.
