Netbooks. Are they worth it?

Dell, HP, Acer are all selling the new Netbooks. I'll review them from 2 points of view.

As a computer user I find the netbooks small, extemely low end, and usually running a low end obsolete operating system. The screen size is difficult to read, the keyboard smaller still. With no cd or dvd rom, limited usb ports or the power to properly power external hardware at 299.00 its no bargin.

As a computer repair technician they are horrible to work on.

Conclusion:
Buy a Netbook, external powered DVD burner, external powered external hard drive or

Buy a low end laptop. Most laptops today start at 399.00 and include a current operating system, DVD burner, ample usb ports and a screen you can see.

I would love to see some feedback on this subject.
