I still hold the belief that the primary driver behind the popularity of the netbook has been the cost side of the equation. I concluded as much in my comments to your netbook damping PC Innovation post.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;When we begin to see better economic times, GOD know when that will be, we should see consumer deemphasize the netbook category to some degree. I'm not saying the product group will go away all together, after all Apple has significantly addressed this product with its Air machine, expensive price notwithstanding, but I do think consumers will change direction toward the notebook line.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;So I guess you can put me down as one of those in the "conventional logic" camp.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17375431/8209319948963650300/comments/default/1693297325421843916'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17375431/8209319948963650300/comments/default/1693297325421843916'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.rahulsood.com/2009/01/do-200-laptops-break-business-model.html?showComment=1233079260000#c1693297325421843916' title=''/><author><name>Adrian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03209497597958165464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.rahulsood.com/2009/01/do-200-laptops-break-business-model.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17375431.post-8209319948963650300' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17375431/posts/default/8209319948963650300' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
