We still have a netbook and my husband uses it when he is in the hospital, a little HP that I bought for him in 2009 when he first became ill so he could pay bills, play some games etc. I guess the sales person thought it was for me cause it has flowers all over it but it is working great, thank goodness.

I think they pointed out to the industry, given how wildly popular they were for a few years there, that people want an inexpensive and portable way to view content. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't influence companies product strategies when it came to tablets, ultra thin laptops and Chromebooks.
