Asus, Lenovo, Toshiba, Dell, HP they all have one thing in common - they have a netbook model. Panasonic have officially stated that they will not produce a netbook.

Many people have asked us the same question. We’re focused on corporate rather than consumer needs, and performance is too low to work with office documents or other applications.
