    I don't understand why everyone tries so hard to call it a netbook. The only thing that the m11x shares with netbooks is the lack of an optical drive and the integrated GPU. The ulv processor, gt355, and screen size all put it up in the subnotebook/ultraportable category.

    Well at 11", the M11x could be considered a netbook.
    Sure 11" can also be considered a subnotebook, but around the 11"/12" mark, the lines kinda get blurry

    What I'm getting at is that the size of the screen does not determine the "class" of the PC, it's capabilities do.

    I don't think there's any confusion between the abilities of the m11x or u30jc vs the acer 532h or similar devices.
