I’ve got an Aspire AO522 with some upgraded internals and OS. I bought it because it’s potent and portable. I can play my Portal 2 and Mass Effect 2, draw my digital comics, and do work in Photoshop or GIMP, plus it’s small enough I can take it everywhere. I seem to be under-represented by the survey.

It's funny you'd mention your age, not because of how old you are, but because you're fitting in right in the middle of our largest group of viewers/readers.
Netbooks seems to appeal more to those that are aware of what they can do with them (and know the limitations) rather than to those thinking they're some kind of cute computers that shrank in the wash

I purchased my Acer Aspire One netbook because of what it can do (gets the job done) and battery life (I purchased a 9 cell battery) and the fact that I can do everything that my notebook does minus the DVD player. I am 46 years old and after having my netbook for a couple of months my 16 year old son want one when he goes to college.
