Maybe.  My main machine these days is a Lenovo netbook - about a 12"
screen I think.  Decent keyboard, very portable.  I've got tablets but
they all run Android and I find myself missing my custom bash scripts,
emacs, vim, jed, joe, gkrellm, plus a decent keyboard.  I can get lots
done on tablets (esp. with a bluetooth keyboard).  But I still find
myself using this netbook almost every day.  Somehow they must scratch
different itches.
