Is Asus Slider ready to replace your netbook?
For the price point difference, the netbook is of course lower because it lacks some features such as the touch screen, the dual camera, etc. The only advantage I can think of the netbooks are on the storage size, most of netbooks will have an average of 120GB to 320GB of storage.
While on the Slider, from the design to mobility functions, it surely worth to have than on netbook especially if you can afford to get one. Also, this will somehow redefine your tablet experience. But overall it will still depend on how much you have and what do you need most.
