I've been netbooking it for my chillin' computin' for the past couple years. Since getting an 800x400 AMOLED screen on a smartphone, I haven't even thought about getting a new netbook. There are all sorts of useful form factors. the iPad _IS_ a PC. It just uses a different CPU and proprietary hardware.

Now... a small and light PC that is completely intractable with via a touchscreen, wireless data, etc...

That's a goddamn miracle.

Bloggers just love to historicize the present.
