I am afraid that you have got this wrong. A netbook is not5 defined by its size alone. (you just made that up in your head). A netbook is defined by its function. Its function is not defined by its form factor. Go back to Intel's definition of a netbook.

"Netbook" is the original term coined by Intel, maker of the netbook's Atom chip. Intel defines the netbook as "a simple, low-cost Internet device designed for basic Internet tasks such as browsing, social networking and education."

Sorry to be harsh, but I am kind of tired of uninformed comments like this based upon hearsay.]]>Feb 19th 2009 8:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/lenovo-planning-to-use-ion-for-larger-netbooks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/lenovo-planning-to-use-ion-for-larger-netbooks/
Alas you too are wrong too....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf

Dwarf as a noun in its origin does not describe size. So a large dwarf is still a dwarf.

That makes you wrong too.

Being smart includes not closing your eyes to what happens in the world. Intel may not have intended netbooks to be small as a requirement, but that is the common usage of the word, and despite what you or the link you posted say, no one would ever think that a 17-inch notebook could be a netbook (except for you and maybe Intel, of course). And when 'dwarf' is mentioned, the first image that comes to mind is that of a small being.

I'm afraid the road to smartness in front of you is a long one, and the first step required is growing up.]]>Feb 19th 2009 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/lenovo-planning-to-use-ion-for-larger-netbooks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/lenovo-planning-to-use-ion-for-larger-netbooks/
Alas you are an a$$. I am still working on that whole laptop/notebook thing so who can really define what a netbook is they started out with 7" screens and go all the way to 10 or 12 now. I would like to coin a new term for MIDs, UMPCs, netbooks, notebooks, and laptops etc. netportavertibletablity you can get one the next time you go to buy an HHDDBVDVD player it can play mp48s.]]>Feb 19th 2009 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/lenovo-planning-to-use-ion-for-larger-netbooks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/lenovo-planning-to-use-ion-for-larger-netbooks/Feb 19th 2009 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/lenovo-planning-to-use-ion-for-larger-netbooks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/lenovo-planning-to-use-ion-for-larger-netbooks/
You mean the smart ones that can't recognise a sarcastic comment when it jumps up and bites them on the nose...]]>Mar 1st 2009 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/lenovo-planning-to-use-ion-for-larger-netbooks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/lenovo-planning-to-use-ion-for-larger-netbooks/Feb 19th 2009 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/lenovo-planning-to-use-ion-for-larger-netbooks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/lenovo-planning-to-use-ion-for-larger-netbooks/

If it is not made for gaming, does not have great speakers, can be lifted with one hand and fits easily in my knapsack or ataché, and has a screen that always reminds me that I have become more nearsighted as I get older, then it is a netbook. I highly recommend the Lenovo S-10.
The X series, although, light, small, highly portable, is not a netbook. For one thing, netbooks SHOULD be cheap devices (relatively). I actually like the Intel definition.]]>Feb 19th 2009 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/lenovo-planning-to-use-ion-for-larger-netbooks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/lenovo-planning-to-use-ion-for-larger-netbooks/Feb 19th 2009 2:47PM
