The end of the netbook

After reading this I couldn’t help but think that more vendors will follow. The netbook! That small, low powered laptop that was good enough to surf the web, won’t be around for long. The netbook is recognizable by its size, a bulky base, a big frame around a tiny screen and a keyboard that is hard to use for long periods of time.

If netbooks are on the way out, it means we will see more machines with OpenGL [ES] 2.0 coming to market. This is a good thing; the netbook I use for development has OpenGL 1.4 support.
