Netbooks aren't dead, they're just called Chromebooks now

Chromebooks aren't netbooks.

They're Android tablets with non-removable keyboards.

The idea of a netbook was very small, cheap, portable, full-featured computer that you could use like a normal computer.

All the ports, your desktop OS, and so on.

Chromebooks ain't it, even if they compete in the market segment that made netbooks a success.
