most, i would say
i would think reviewing on a trip/location shoot would be a big deal. chimping is a tricky way to do critical review, imo (and see below)
isn't an iPad kind of a netbook with Apple's premium pricing slapped on? and for only 64gb of memory for about twice the price of a netbook (yet less than half the storage) just sayin'... ;-}
so, that saves you a whole 2 minutes? really? and because you can't check your files so well, are you chimping more, and so more than eating up that couple of minutes?
definitely true. if space is that much of a premium, then a drive is surely the way to go. uuuuhhhh, but hang on a sec. are those wheely bags and trolley systems designed for point and shooters? they're for gear hounds and pros. the latter take everything they could possibly need, and gear hounds----not usually worried about having too much, it doesn't seem. probably a few extra cubic inches available for the extra size of a netbook...
point taken here, although it takes an hour for a netbook to run out of juice at least. but if you're in the middle of a very wild place, w/o a vehicle, then definitely a drive has the advantage here. otherwise, just a tiny bit of planning ought to do with a netbook. and of course then there are the other advantages, like tethering possibilities, web work, etc.
