Netbooks?

Are netbooks included in these figures? Apparently 5.6m netbooks were shifted in Q3 this year; that's a significant chunk of total notebook sales. If anything, I'm surprised the netbooks didn't make up a larger percentage. When you can have a computer that's actually portable enough to carry around, while still doing everything you really need, and pay half the price of a normal notebook for the privilege, what's not to love?
