Folds into a tablet format if I want it (which I never do). And Chromecast is the greatest invention ever for watching porn, Youtube, etc.

Best of all... no Windoze.

I use it constantly and love it more than anything I've ever used -- other than my self-built desktop machine.

This is the one I bought.
Amazon.com: ASUS Chromebook Flip C302 with Intel Core m3, 12.5-Inch Touchscreen, 64GB storage and 4GB RAM: Computers & Accessories

I narrowed it down to that one and the top-of-the-line Samsung. The Asus won (for me) because I wanted the backlit keyboard.
That looks great. I'm curious what you think about the weight of it. It is very light for a laptop, but part of the reason I was thinking about a tablet was that I also want to use it an E-reader (like a kindle). I could use this for that, but I wonder if it would get heavy trying to hold it up like a book.
