I bought my netbook as a toy and now use it almost everywhere for almost all of the things I used to do on a full system. I don't even bring along my much more powerful laptop to most places anymore. It's without a doubt the best consumer electronics purchase I've made in the last 5 years.

I also know that in a pinch, I can plug in a monitor and a usb keyboard and use it like a full machine (just with no 3d, and a slower processor). But for 95% of what I need (and I need some pretty processor intensive tasks, like photo editing, audio editing, etc.) it works "good enough". And it's unbeatable value for the dollar.
