Since I have one, I'll answer. I really don't think it will change the idea of laptops. Netbooks were designed for a specific purpose. From my understanding, they were not necessarily designed to replace a laptop. Have BlackBerries changed how we think about laptops and telephones? To an extent, but the Blackberry market just made it easier to communicate. It did not make traditional phones and computers obsolete.

Especially in a few years when solid state drives will hopefully have caught up to the conventional harddrive...will netbooks be 'the thing' to have?

The netbook will be the 'thing to have' if you need one. Again, like BlackBerries, if you need one, then you have one. I personally don't need a BlackBerry so I don't have one.
