When I joined this office, I was given an Acer laptop. There's a fracture on the top-case, and I've made sure that the IT team saw it during hand-over so they won't claim that I made it broken.

 8 months later, the left part of the top-case was about to fell off. A lot worse than when I got it the first time. So the office is getting me a new laptop. While waiting for it to come, I got a netbook to use.

 I get the advantage of having a light laptop, and how easy it is to bring it here & there. What I don't get is how can you feel convenient using it? I've been using it for only 2 days and my neck is already in pain, not to mention my back. Because of the small screen, I have to have my head close to it, enough for me to stare and notice details & spellings. Obviously then my back is arched, then well... try doing that for at least 6 hours a day.

 I've tried changing the resolution to be 800x600, doesn't really help much. Still not clear enough to read from a normal distance.

 So... Tell me, what would be the main purpose of anyone who's buying a netbook?
