Didn't netbooks as a category just merge into cheaper laptops? I doubt they were unprofitable for the manufacturers.

I'll bet the children in Africa etc with the OLPCs used them for several years. They can't switch to a MacBook.

They didn't really do much in Africa eventually, if anything at all.
