i agree with mikez because the prices are too high and if we go with hp or toshiba, we can get similar laptop with cheap cost approx $400 to $450

Yeah, nice to see I am not the only one noticing the issue with the so called netbook segment. At this point the netbook is redefining the notebook.

A netbook is/was supposed to be something small and light primarily for net surfing. The definition of a netbook does not include "Atom processor" At a certain size it is no longer a netbook, Atom processor or not.

I am not sure how strong Atom will end up, but if it becomes strong enough to handle standard notebook tasks the terms netbook and notebook will be redundant.

This is not a smart product. Let netbooks exist in their realm and let laptops exist in theirs. If you are going to go 12 inches or larger why don't you get it over with already and offer a 17 inch Intel Atom powered monstrosity? A 12-17 inch netbook would be like a five year old child the size of Shaquille Oneal.

Finally i want to see netbook from Lenovo, i hope its going to be quality one, like almost all their laptops. But $500 sounds too much

I actually think that Intel Atom powered notebooks with 12 inch screen will be very popular within a year. As long as battery life is good, weight is around 3 pounds, and the price is around $500 – I'm sure that it'll be the perfect portable solution for a lot of people.

Having a large keyboard, and screen that has a lot more pixels than a 10 inch netbook, will simply appeal to a lot of people IMO. For the average consumer, there are no computer tasks that cannot be performed on such a computer. The coming of Windows 7 will only make this option more compelling.

What is the advantage? Battery life? You could buy a traditional laptop and a spare battery for the cost of these things.

Do we need to come up with a name for this segment of the market? Not netbook and not traditional laptop. Tweenbook?

Their 15.4 inch machine is already down to $400 -

Which makes it a bit hard to sell many 12 inch machines at $500
