It looks as though 10 inches just isn’t enough to satisfy some people - cue silly giggle!
Reports are coming from LCD screen makers that demand for 11.6-inch panels has risen markedly.
This has led some to speculate that netbook manufacturers are going to be producing netbooks with bigger screens at some stage in the near future.
Already there are two 12-inch netbook models already in the market - the Dell Mini 12 and Samsung NC20.
There is some debate as to where the cutoff point lies for screen size before a netbook is actually considered to be a laptop.
However, if the specification and price falls in the normal netbook mould then it could be argued either way.
There’s a difficult balance to be met, because if netbooks get bigger the benefits of them being highly portable will start to diminish.
On the other hand, with Nvidia graphics set to appear in netbooks soon, bigger screens may be appreciated to take advantage of high definition (HD) capability.
