*According to Qualcomm

Third times the charm. Qualcomm messed up the last time they tried to make an ARM chip for computers, but this time Im more optimistic. The specs look amazing on paper

I want Netbooks to come back for this reason. The only reason they failed the first wave was because nobody at the time thought to treat them as just smaller laptops that could be improved. They were just glorified pre-Chromebooks that were underpowered.

Technology has progressed since then so there's no excuse not to bring them back. I loved the idea of carrying something that small around and not have it hinder me as much as a full laptop could.
