I had a Lenovo S10 netbook too back in the day. I have fond memories of it, but I definitely don't 'miss that tiny size'. It was so tiny that they had to shrink the key size on the keyboard to make it fit, and the trackpad was also so tiny as to be barely usable.

Nowadays, I'd say 14" is the sweet spot. Compact enough to easily fit in a bag and be taken basically anywhere, without having to sacrifice much if anything in terms of functionality/capability.

With screen bezels reduced to almost nothing, a modern 14" is pretty comparable in size to a 12" model from yesteryear.

i really think iPad nailed the perfect combination of screen size and aspect ratio. i just wish they'd still make it in a proper laptop version, i don't want iPad OS.

i had a netbook back in the day, and it was okay but the 16:9 aspect ratio really let it down. on a screen that small, 4:3 makes a big difference.

that and the sim slot. I've always wondered why they can't bodge one into the sd slot in software, as from what I remember the interconnects are similar (?). Or maybe they could just make personal hotspot more reliable
