Windows 7 slapped onto a Tablet...

Also, MSI is coming out with a Tablet using nVidia's ARM CPU which will cost around the same price as the iPad ($500) and runs Android, which you can do multitasking and stuff and you can install any software you want..

Still don't understand netbook hate. Even though I'm still using an old eeePC 900HD, modern netbooks are wonderful. I really want to ditch this one... maybe for an HP Mini 210 to compliment my full-size lappy (coming soon).
The problem is with the term "netbook"and it's marketing since they are more powerful than smartphones but less powerful than a traditional laptop, which becomes a field of not good or bad (no offense). If they are paired up with a more efficient OS that isn't Windows such as Linux and Android, it wouldn't appear to be slow since Windows is a inefficient OS besides from the slow hardware. Netbooks are just another name for ultraportables.
