Some just want a netbook that is small and durable (like the 4G) to throw in a backpack while on bicycle or motorcycle. Some people carry the 7" along with full size notebook when traveling. Get them into the 10" size and these uses don't work as well for those things. Keep in mind people use these for different reasons.

There is also nothing wrong with the 7". Mine been running fine since March. Note only that the 7" as to be much cheaper to make, the extra bezel gives the LCD more protection, and room for speakers that actually face the user. I don't know about the speakers on the bottom for the Asus 9" models, but I had a Sony notebook that went back to the store because of the speakers on the bottom. With the 7" the sound is great. Asus should keep one model of all screen sizes and let the users decide. But just one model of the 7", not three or 4 as they have now. Definitely a mistake to lose the 9″.

The Lenovo S10 and new HP mini 1000 seem to be the most desirable in this area to me so far. But the 9-inch ones can keep on getting more compact too and will probably still be wanted by road warriors who need to do only light typing.<br><br>Along these lines, I was puzzled by Dell going with 9" instead of 10" or both. I suppose they were afraid a 10-incher would compete with the Mini 12, with which they seem to be trying to establish a new niche. I would like to see more effort to make the 10-inchers smaller.

Anything usable is just going to cost more.<br><br>As for screen size, I wouldn't lose any sleep over the 7" screen dissapearing. I agree with Brad about keeping the 9" screen. For some people it is the perfect compromise between size and portability.

As for screen size, I wouldn't lose any sleep over the 7″ screen dissapearing. I agree with Brad about keeping the 9″ screen. For some people it is the perfect compromise between size and portability.
