Yeah, my favourite ever laptop. Would love to see the netbook return. Cheap and cheerful. Chromebooks just not the same
Comment on I installed Linux on this 8-inch mini laptop, and it's my new favorite way of computing

I remember my 9 inch netbook. That thing was dope.

Chromebooks suck the nut, netbooks all the way

I have an older Samsung chromebook loaded with coreboot EFI firmware and boots Linux. Works…fine. It only has 16GB eMMC storage, so I think I will load a proper OS on a USB drive, hot glue it into place, and use that as the boot drive.

I’m strongly hoping that the framework 12’’ becomes widely successful so that the format keeps being relevant.

My 11" netbook is my favorite portable PC I own. A bit slow but rock solid and about as heavy as a tablet.

11 inch is a pretty nice form factor, too!

Still love my Acer Aspire v151, core i5. 11" is a great size, just big enough for a standard keyboard. I wish they would have updated models like that. A Ryzen 9 version would kick ass.

Unfortunately I think most of this audience (if there ever was any) have switched to tablets.

ASUS still makes netbooks.
I bought a little $200 model a few years ago. It weighs 9 oz.
