I own one, MSI u100 series.

I had been looking at laptops for awhile, and after a lot of discussions my older brother and I decided that the netbook was the way to go. It's cheap, portable, and can handle whatever I throw at it. Sure, I can't play game after game on it, but I can play the basics.

I also use it as my work computer. (Mainly school). Mostly reports and stuff, but I like to fool around with photoshop and stuff.

All in all, the netbook is a solid choice for the middle to lower class. Not all of us can afford an apple device, as they can be pretty pricey. More and more netbooks are coming out that are just as good as the lower end Dell laptops that your grandparents/parents buy in the attempt to show that they are "hip".
