I think they don't make sense if you don't care about the screen size - but nothing in that size really existed around 2010 iirc.

iPad? OK, if you don't want a laptop and can live with it. Android tablets? worse.

11" - 13" can already be too large, maybe not for you.

Chromebooks - would be the 1:1 replacement if they weren't usually 12" or more

The price. Sure, inflation and all but I paid 300 for my eeePC, new.
