Alex:
Benefits of a netbook (I have the smaller of the two Acer sizes, only
something like 8.9 inches for the screen):
Size: Yes
Weight: Yes. My Acer Aspire One weights almost exactly 1.0 kg. (2.2 lbs.)
Acer sells one size larger screen (10+ inches), but it weights more.
Battery life: Sucks
Battery life is no better because the battery is (generally) smaller
although larger batteries are available at a cost.
Other than that, there are no real technical issues, it's a laptop with
a small screen/keyboard and an Intel Atom processor.

Size, weight, battery life?
they are cheaper, but not that much - cheapest 15" notebooks are $280...320.
CPU and memory are also not as good as in notebooks.
