- EwanToo 14y agoIf the new Samsung Chromebook could run Windows, I'd get one of them, and stick a bigger SSD in it. Even in it's current crippled form, I'm tempted by putting Ubuntu on it. http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/laptops/1293349/samsung-series-5-550-chromebook http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/laptops/1293349/samsung-serie...
- robin_reala 14y agoJust sneaks over at $829, but I’d get an 11" Macbook Air (2011, 4gb ram, 128gb SSD) from Apple’s outlet: http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC969LL/A http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC969LL/A I love my 11" Air, best laptop I’ve ever owned.

- derekp7 14y agoI recently settled on a Thinkpad X230 -- add a couple hundred to that price to upgrade the screen to IPS, and an i5 cpu (and backlit keyboard) -- it's worth it. I also added an internal SSD (you can install it under the keyboard, in addition to having your regular hard drive), this acts as my primary drive with the 500GB mechanical drive as a data store. My only complaint is the screen resolution, but better than the older netbook screens (768 vertical vs. 600 vertical resolution). But at least it is still easier to carry around than the larger 15-inch+ notebooks.
