netbooks are hopelessely underpowered compared to laptops.

the GMA 950 has a 3Dmark 2006 score that averages around 140.

this compares rather badly to a modern intel budget laptop which gets ~850 with the montevino platform,

and terribly compared to a budget AMD PUMA platform laptop which gets ~1400

and catastropically compared to a macbook style notebook using the nvidia Ion platform which gets around 2100 3Dmarks.

an 11.6" net/note book is a compromise which is nearly as small as a netbook and as powerful as a basic notebook.
