I am somewhat in need of a new laptop to take notes at school with . . . I also want something like a kindle (or reasonable sized tablet(?)) for e-books Ultrabook: 11-14 inches 2-~4 pounds I have a little bit of scoliosis . . . so not too heavy a system, but not too light that I hate the thing anyway. I may want to do some light gaming on it (anything from about 2007 or before shouldn't be much of a issue, should it?) Less than $550 if possible (I'm sure it isn't considering the SSD) Good keyboard, no Chiclet sort of keys (?) - I somewhat hate and slower on typing on flatter keys. I do NOT want an optical drive What else should I consider? Anyone of experience with the Acer Aspire S5-391-6836 it seems like a nice ultrabook, seems to have a good processor (i5). For the price it seems like it should come with at lest some bit of hard drive space (not only a SSD) or more RAM. It's light enough, good enough processor, decent GPU, if it's still purchasable in a few weeks/months I may try to get this. E-book reader Large enough storage (4+ Gigs I'd think) Reasonable screen size (5+ inches?) Reasonable battery life What else should I consider? I hope to use it for school textbooks so I don't have to lug those around, and at night before I go to sleep I can read some.
