Hold that netbook purchase, study says you’ll regret it

In the great next hope for the PC industry, the darling netbooks are evoking an unfriendly response from users. The study, performed by Biz360, says netbook owners are increasingly unhappy with their purchase citing multiple reasons for their dissatisfaction. Many of these points are trade-offs to get the price low enough to spark buyers to buy.

This is how you study?

Biz360 culls their data from reviews left on websites, such as Best Buy, CNET, Newegg, PC World, Amazon and other large retailers. It might be interesting to note that most of these sites do not enforce a policy that only actual product owners can submit reviews. This leaves the door open to potential unsavory reviews by competing companies (now called, “pulling a Belkin“).
