The pace of netbook launches has visibly slowed between the dual-pronged pressures of tablets and ultrabooks, and at least for Americans, it\'s about to get a lot slower. A Toshiba executive has warned that there aren\'t any plans to bring more netbooks to the US; the NB510\'s presence at CES this year is now as close as Yankees will get to any more Atom-powered notebooks from the outfit. Instead, all of Toshiba\'s enthusiasm for ultraportables in the country will be spent on Ultrabooks like the Portege Z835. It\'s a sad day for those who like their computers tiny, especially as it hikes the minimum price for a super-light Toshiba laptop to $800, but it\'s hard to ignore a rapidly declining market. We also imagine that Toshiba will gladly steer you to one of its Excite tablets if you\'re looking for the basics in a small shape.
