    The Samsung Chromebook is one of the lightest Chromebooks with a good keyboard and nice size.

    The Samsung Chromebook 3 can be purchased (via the US as it is not on sale in the EU) via ebay for 212.99 USD.

    I'm using the Acer Chromebook R11 , I got it at Argos on Sunday , this is the one

    http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/7459719/Trail/searchtext%3ECHROMEBOOK.htm

    I needed something smaller and lighter than the MAC, screen isn't fantastic but more than good enough for what I wanted it for and that is to be able to type on the go, tablets are crap to type on and are a pain in your hand after a while.

    I was thinking about the Ipad Pro 10.1 inch, very expensive then the keyboard is another 150 Euro's, no thanks. 9.7 inch normal Ipad, nice and all that but problem is keyboard, either way the after market keyboards for tablets are crap.

    This Acer R11 , dual core celeron isn't fast but it does the job, I can watch Netflix, type until my fingers fall off and browse the web and it's not that slow, I was surprised.

    It can be used in tent mode, normal laptop or tablet mode. I really like it. Don't get me wrong, it's nothing like using a MAC, but for 360 Euro's it does what I want just fine.

    BTW, it's an 11.1 inch, which is exactly what I was after.
