Why use a netbook?

I was looking to buy a netbook for my upcoming travels as I did not want to bring my 14" laptop as well as planning on doing some writing outdoors. I needed a netbook that was compact and lightweight, inexpensive yet built for real adventure. While the machine works overall very well to my needs (internet and a few MS apps), Battery wise it's about 7 to around 10 hours of normal usage (surfing, documents, installing and running software, etc.)

I can easily "do my thing" on facebook, itunes, utube, email, chat etc. with my friends! so far so good!
