| Price is probably the most compelling, followed by the feature set. In my own
| experience, I’m finding that the Linux implementations are a third factor.
| While many netbook makers are offering custom Linux builds for simplicity,
| they have to balance that with the ability for the everyday consumer to add,
| extend and customize their own experience.
