Im looking for a cheap yet lightweight and thin netbook with relatively powerful specs (for a netbook obv not expecting i5s and stuff like that) Any suggestions?? EDIT: My budget is around £400-£500 im a poor student with little money.

Just an average guy with a dream that one day he will own a custom watercooling loop.

I honestly don't see any point in buying a netbook. I'd recommend either getting a tablet (like the nexus 7) for pure media consumption, or if you need any more than that go for a cheap laptop.

I have a nexus 7 32gb I would just like something with a bit more power I already have a asus 1011px netbook but its quite underpowered and is now 2 years old. EDIT: I also own a dell e5520 laptop with and i5 and radeon graphics Its just too big to move around all day.

If I were you I would install Linux on the netbook you already have (I recommend Linux Mint), before you go out and buy a new one. The speed increase might sway your decision of buying a new one right away.

Geezus no! 1. He asked for a notebook. 2. A cheap one. 3. The Macbook is not an ultrabook. 

He asked for a netbook...

Your cheap isnt the same as my cheap.

The 11 inch macbook air is just as portable, and probably more powerful as something labled a "netbook".
