When is a netbook really a small laptop? And is Conficker worth the hype?
The company that invented the netbook category, Asus, released a new netbook that includes a DVD drive, a rarity for the classification. Is it still a netbook? Is netbook a lame term to begin with? What makes a netbook a netbook? Kyle Monson and Brad Linder both say the new 1004DN is still a netbook, since it's primarily focused on running net apps. Also, we dive into the Conficker saga, with our predicitions of what we'll see come April 1st.
They are marketing names. Some small laptops (Sony, Averatech) are smaller than netbooks, and some have an integrated optical drive, yet are not netbooks?
Why not, they ideal for the Net?
