Michael Dell does not like netbooks
Looks like Dell netbooks are hurting sales of Dell notebooks. Perhaps that is why Michael Dell hates netbooks.
“Take a user who’s used to a 15-inch notebook and then give him a 10-inch netbook. He’ll say ‘Oh, this is so cool, it’s so lightweight.’ Then 36 hours later he’ll say the screen’s not big enough, give me my 15-inch back.”
He says that the smaller machines are no replacement for the bigger machines. We feel acutely that it differs from person to person. If somebody is a graphic artist, he would hate netbooks and UMPCs like anything. On the other hand, if one uses his notebook for web-surfing, office editing and/or basic photoshop-like stuff, he will immediately fall in love with a netbook. Carrying a 1kg netbook which is smaller in size is much more easier to carry around than a notebook that weighs 2.5kg and is bigger in size too.
