Tell that to everyone else. Where have you got the idea only under 10" is netbook?

So for example EEE PC 12xx netbook is not netbook?

Nope, it's a small notebook...

You buy netbooks for their size,, if you get a 12" you might aswell save yourself some money and get a 14"/15" laptop which has more power for the same money...

And don't bother starting another argument.. I am fed up with us having to enage in a fist-fight in every thread as soon as we have a slight difference of oppinion

It is a notebook only in your opinion. Everyone else in the world is fine with 10.1 EEE PC being netbook.

If you get a 11/12 you should ask yourself why you wasted that money,,,

I think you should ask MAX what he thinks of that netbook.

If something is not for you it doesn't make it a bit more waste than anything else in this miserable world.

11-12 inch "notebooks/netbooks" cost as much and more as a normal >2x as powerfull 14-15 inch notebook...

and the size is just too close to justify the cost...

9-10 inch'es are cheaper, just as powerfull, and MUCH, MUCH more portable & worthy of the name netbooks...

Netbook:
Low power - low heat processor
Small size
No disc drive
Mid-high capacity battery
as big a keyboard as size will allow

400€ laptop with <3H battery life when the guy is fine with netbook level performance but gets >4h battery life...

There is something for everyone.

If it is battery-life you want, you don't get a 12"...

6cells can power a 9" for 6 hours

I'd rather not have the disc - that way if you reformat, you don't have to worry if the disc is scratched. With Steam you can just redownload it to the new machine or new hard drive or whatever because it's all tied into your account. That's the best part about Steam, IMO.
