so iv been thinking of after highscool getting myself something similar to the old Asus EEE PC 1080 i had. it was total crap, Atom 550, 2GB RAM, 786p shit screen, boken joint, ect... but it was nice because it was a 10.1" laptop with a large keyboard for the size and it was easy to take everywhere. i was wondering if there are things like it anymore, like with up to date Atoms that can use more then 2GB of RAM and are actiually decent for lighter tasks.  would want the screen to be about 720p becuse thats fine for the size and saves battery life and i dont care for touch either. just want something at about the 10" size thats a laptop and not a tablet with a keyboard basically. i miss my eee pc even though it was shit and broken because i could take it everywhere easy and the keyboard was great and i dont really like the laptop i got from school because its huge(16.1" screen makeing for a 18" size...) and has pretty shit specs for doing anything more heavy then web browsing or light, low settings gameing on it anyway(I5 6200, GTX 660M equivlent GPU, 1080p screen)

 

tl;dr:

are there any laptops like the Asus EEE PC anymore at about 10" with keyboards and decent upgradeablity(HDD and RAM swap) that isnt a tablet thing? thats the only thing i want answered here.

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

That was an e130 (11"). Not a great screen, but great for typing. My x230 has an even better keyboard, but it's 12" and actually it's a little less solidly constructed than the e130.

@Bananasplit_00 basically any of the 11in ThinkPad fit ur bill. I think there's a few other models that u'd have to research ur self, cause I'm not familiar with the size. Maybe @Dackzy would know.

thanks, took a look at the e130 and if there was on with an I5 id snatch it up lol but that laptop isnt available though. the 1e seemed pretty good too. its going to be a while untill i get either one, i just wanted to make sure that small laptops were not dead yet lol

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

I had it with an i3. The performance was really just fine for everything browsing/work related.
