"They all seemed to be very happy with their computers"
Oy! You could tell it was their computers they were happy with, really? Not the caffeinated beverages, or companionship, weather, or the new underwear they had on? Or their comfy shoes? Or the orgasm they had an hour before going to Starbucks? Or a pretty picture of a chimp with a balloon on their screen? Or the content of an email they were reading? It was definitely their computers that they were happy about?
"...and those with netbooks appeared to have no trouble whatsoever slaving away at the keyboards."
Enslavement and happiness...and unlikely combination...but leaving that aside...
I guess I have to question your expectations. It seems as though you expected that someone in a coffee shop using a notebook with a small keyboard would be more likely to be displaying visible signs of computer-related distress, appearing frustrated or unhappy, right before your eyes, at the moment you happened to look over. And you were interested to find they weren't frowning, as you expected they might be!
They weren't even scratching their heads, sighing, or pounding on their notebooks in despair. They actually....seemed....happy. And it must be because they liked their computers! What other reason could there be? That's it, it has to be the only reason!
