I wouldn't even use MS Office on the thing. My use for one would be internet/email and viewing entertainment content (DVD, YT, web, etc). Hence, I hadn't really needed one yet. Of course, that's just me. Others see it differently.

We'll visit the Philippines next year. Only then will I need a netbook to complement the laptop. With my eyesight not as good as it used to be, doing any serious work on a netbook is going to be hard, even on a 10" screen.
