In a similar aspect laptops are headed in this direction with netbooks. Netbooks are basically smaller cheaper laptops with a focus on portability. The specs related to netbooks are not that great compared to regular laptops, 1.6 ghz and 1 gb of ram, but for the size and price they have carved out their own niche within the computer market
