I think that would pretty much sum up their feelings on "netbooks" too. Apple HAS a netbook. It just happens to cost $1700 because that's what it takes to make a netbook they deem worthy of putting a glowing apple on the cover of.

In other words, apple isn't just going to make a product just to fill a pricepoint.

Interesting. I guess the cheap-o macbook is their netbook. What is it, like $1000?
