the year is 2013, ipads and such are expensive and the kids wanted to watch DVDs for our roadtrip. easiest solution was to whip up a custom centre console for our car’s rear seat

My dad had one of these that hung on a sling between the front seats

That is SWEET. I think tech like built in DVD players in cars, or answering machines, that is quickly made obsolete while the purpose it serves remains. In this case it would be built on DVD players being made obsolete by tablets.

I don’t believe you. Any netbook user knows that the battery runs out before the poor computer can even load a single webpage

We can recharge it. We have the technology.

Sometimes you need to live and let die.

Slander! I’ll have you know my netbook lasted six or seven hours when new (much less these days).

I’m not at all convinced it could play a DVD though, even if it had a DVD drive though, it was not a powerhouse.

This looks like what you would get if you used the Monkey’s paw to wish for a portable video player in 2005 (I’m  sure it was FRICKIN SWEET during your childhood though )

I had a netbook once. My parents got a free one with a internet provider contract. I used it to until I tried to get free music off Limewire. It crashed hard.

We made one for the trips to Grandpa’s house. My old Powerbook G3 played ripped DVDs off a 500GB FireWire hard drive. We got a lot of mileage out of Looney Tunes DVD collections.

This was indeed ca. 2000-2004ish

They were fine. They were just slow, really slow. We probably wouldn’t have ultrabooks if it wasn’t for people being willing to purchase netbooks. I had a couple, one I paid like $200 for on sale, the other I inherited somehow. Loaded them with Linux and they were fine. I also didn’t worry about taking them on international trips, unlike proper laptops. They were practically disposable.

Phablets becoming mainstream ended them; they’re handier and you already own one.

CORRECT. More specifically at the bottom of it
