Calling netbooks a "revolution" is too much of a stretch for a trend that basically lasted 2-3 years, if that.


It's actually sad PC makers decided to rebrand them "ultrabooks" in order to be able to collectively raise prices...


I'd argue the class of power in an ultra book is diff from net book. Ultra books are a response to MacBook air giving real usable performance in slim package. Net books were sub 9" under powered devices who were just eaten up by tablets
