Alright, my Netbook's on its way out, after slowly declining in speed over the year and a half I've had it. I'm currently using it with a 3G dongle, so it became my go-anywhere writing tool.
I was looking around for a replacement, something roughly as compact, lightweight, and energy efficient, but with a bit more power.
Now, my three options appear to be another Netbook, an "Ultrabook" at God-awful prices, or a "Chromebook."
I'll be honest, I want something that feel like an upgrade, not a sidestep. I simply don't have the money for an Ultrabook, but the Chromebook seems to tick all the boxes. Small, slick, and I only plan to use it on the web, anyway. I run everything via GDocs now.
I tried searching around town for advice on it, but, true to their reputation, Currys, Comet, and Carphone Warehouse are as useless as ever. I couldn't find any second opinions, or first-hand experience with the product, so I figured you guys might have heard about them.
Model I'm looking at is this one:

Google's info on it seems to tick all the boxes, but then, it would. Customer reviews on Amazon and the like are also very positive, but I'd like info from people who know their stuff. I aim to hold onto this for a long time.
