I'm looking for a compact laptop to use for light computing tasks (web browsing, email,etc. - no gaming). Portability is the main factor as I'd like it to be easy to carry to the coffee shop, at a conference, etc. I already have other machines for times when I need more screen real estate or processor power.
I'm thinking about something in the ~12" range. I was initially looking at Chromebooks but it seems like there is not much difference in price between those and a Windows 10 machine at this point, so maybe it's better to go with the full Windows OS?
Any specific recommendations? I guess I'd be willing to go up to ~$400 or so if needed but I feel like I could get something cheaper than that for my requirements.
