Dammit, forgot to add netbooks. I had a great one I bought from System76 in 2009 and I liked it a lot. Hardware finally died, but I'd take a netbook over almost any other device at this point: I'm no fan of Ultrabooks, my Chromebook is great but not as great as my netbook, and I could add a GSM modem to make it into an internet device usable miles-from-nowhere.
Ballmer can kiss my ass for helping destroy the netbook because it threatened his empire. I wish companies were still making them. Maybe I should look into a used one on ebay but you never know what you're getting there.

I preferred the Thinkpad X series over netbooks. I've owned an x31, x41, and now an x61. I have wide hands and most netbooks made me feel like I had huge sausage fingers.
