What is your definition of a netbook out of curiosity? It does seem to be different then what most of the mainstream agrees to, and is complicating my understanding of your actual needs. Did you consider your Dell X1 a netbook? For me, (and it seems Bruno, and many others), a netbook is an Atom powered (this no out of order execution) based system with a screen limited to 1024x600, portable computer. The X1, Air, and other certain systems with more normal (for their time) processors, higher resolutions, and such are typically called ultra portable notebooks.
To me "netbook" and "ultra-portable notebook" are synonyms. There's a very broad continuum of performance and component choice across the whole product area, and dividing it in two seems like pure marchitecture. Even dividing it on screen size is a bit arbitrary: there are 11.6in Atom machines, for instance, sometimes in the same case design as the same manufacturer's 10in Atom machines (but with smaller borders round the screen).
