If you want to play games or watch HD movies, then a full laptop is the way to go. This netbook can play 720p anime but stutters on 720p LA movies I’ve tried. I’m going to see if CoreAVC will fix that though ;)

Nice get! Didn't know it was discontinued, too bad, was a tempting gadget... Don't really have the need for a netbook or laptop just yet and unsure if Id id which I'd get, a handy little netbook or a full blown laptop or MacBook with the necessary power and storage...

They are really cool once you use one in person. At least the 7″ and 8″ models are. Holding them in your hand makes you realize just how small they really are ^^
Not small enough to carry in a pocket, of course, but small enough to easily slip into any shoulder bag or backpack and easily forget it’s there due to the light weight and size.

I have a 15″ laptop that I use for work and I don’t like lugging it around as an actual laptop. That’s the advantage of netbooks. They’re small enough to take with you just about anywhere and don’t get in your way.

Yeah, I don’t like the new trend with netbooks getting bigger and bigger. They are becoming less unique and more like underpowered, slightly smaller laptops…

I haven't had the chance to try out a netbook, but they certainly do seem to do a good job. Though personally I still like my Macbook as it's not too big, and not all that heavy and the specs are quite good. Adun’s last blog post..K-ON! - 09

I'm concerned about it's ergonomics compared to a normal laptop. The screen is smaller and it's hard to type on the keyboard. Overall, the netbook never really caught my eye. Optic’s last blog post..Sexy Haruhi Suzumiya

Too bad Dell has discontinued the Mini 9.
