"My budget is $500" + "need to be lightweight, long battery life, slim"
good luck with that.
Chromebook or http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=Property&N=100020039&IsNodeId=1&PropertyCodeValue=34568%3A443034&bop=And&cm_sp=Ultra3090-_-VisNav-_-Non-Touch%2CUltrabooks-_-VisNav-_-Non-Touch&Order=PRICE&PageSize=20 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=Proper... are my suggestions.
- autotravis 13y agoActually, this looks interesting (IdeaPad U410): http://outlet.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/outlet_us/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?GroupID=445&Code=59RF0458 http://outlet.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/outlet_us/... 9 hr battery life, supposedly. And if it takes after thinkpads, then it supports a native GNU/Linux pretty well.
- codonaut 13y ago9hr battery life is not accurate at all. I bought one recently and while the build quality is very nice, the battery life isn't as long as advertised, and there have been issues connecting to wireless networks as well(need to repeatedly sleep/wakeup to connect to a new network). Apparently the network issues are widespread with this model, and while the newer ones(like I have) don't suffer from low speed I'm still getting poor connectivity.
