And what do you think Netbook is?

Static?

I should hope not..if any measurement of "how far we can push our platform"
is static, that simply means that the hardware increases it's
specifications, and we keep ours constant. Also known as not efficiently
using and expanding to the resources that are given.

Power consumption decreases, system power increases, battery capacity and
up-time duration increases, size of all of the system, decreases. The same
can be applied to absolutely anything. Just look at phones; only a few years
ago nobody could have hoped to run what can now be ran.

So it's always going to be relative, and that is precisely what it should
be.
