Thoughts on the lack of an Apple netbook

My latest article for The Apple Blog covers my thoughts on the lack of an Apple netbook, and why I don’t think we’ll ever see one from Apple.

I’ve actually grown quite tired of hearing about sub $500 laptops from people who probably have no idea what that $500 gets them (or doesn’t, as the case may be).

Most Mac users don’t want a stripped-down, barely usable laptop – no matter what the price is. The MacBook Air is a powerful, light-weight laptop and gives you everything you need at half the weight of most laptops. If you think you need a “netbook,” think again!
