Well, since this is the "Travel Technology" forum I'll admit to being a Chromebook convert as I travel with a small 11.6" Asus Chromebook C201 laptop for several years now and am more than happy.

I considered a tablet but opted for this small and light enough laptop as it's easily carry in in a padded backpack pocket, inexpensive enough - sub CAD$200 - that were it lost, stolen or damaged it wouldn't break me, and allows me to surf FT & check emails while on the road which is really all I need it for.
