Who says netbooks are no good for business. Not Lenovo, apparently. The company is reportedly looking to enter the space with a business-minded netbook. "It's an area we're exploring," Lenovo analyst Matthew Kohut told APC Magazine, "but I can't comment one way or the other. Watch this space, that's all I can say."
He added that the concept of netbooks in the office is one that has been gaining more prominence amongst companies,
Businesses are definitely asking about netbooks, they're wanting them more and more. Business problems, whether the economy is good or not, remain the same: do more with less, be more efficient and all that. This ties in very nicely with netbooks.

It seems that most reviewers forget about the technicians of the world. I use my 10" MSI wind daily when diagnosing HVAC problems that require me to be in unusual places like on a roof under a building or in a mechanical room. It is so much better to tote a 2 lb. netbook when climbing a ships ladder than a giant 15.4" notebook in a filled backpack. You gotta think outside the office. Just FYI most large buildings are automated now and there are thousands of controls technicians out there.

It appears that David Hill, VP of design for Lenovo, has posted about netbooks on his blog (http://lenovoblogs.com/designmatters/?p=1349) and linked to a survey.
