The eight-inch Piccolo N150 may be small, but its sharp display and solid build prove it's far from a toy.

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

    I’m down to see this form factor make a comeback, personally.

      Yeah, my favourite ever laptop. Would love to see the netbook return. Cheap and cheerful. Chromebooks just not the same

        Chromebooks suck the nut, netbooks all the way

      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.
