Small notebook for general usage

[Guest]

I'm looking for a laptop to use at work and for general web browsing, youtube, little bit of coding, nothing intense because I have a decent desktop for my gaming, editing etc. What can you recommend me? I don't really want to go above £500 because like I say it's just really for use in work while waiting for render bars, bit of in home streaming etc. It needs to be slim, light, 11" - 13" and it'd be nice if it looked half decent. SSD would be a bonus, but i'm happy without one and sticking one in my self at a later date. What can you recommend me? I quite like the look of the Lenovo Yoga 2 but what can you recommend?

hmm

how about the Yoga 2 11"

or the

Thinkpad Yoga 11e

http://shop.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/thinkpad/11e-series/

 

the difference is that the 11e is sturdier

the slightly more expensive version of the 11e comes with an IPS display

 

 

while the default spec for the 11 comes with an IPS display

Ok, it was the Yoga 2 11" I was looking at, because I can get a 10% corporate discount from Lenovo too Anything else you can recommend, doesn't have to be Lenovo just because of the discount either, that's not really a factor for me.

at 13 and 14 inches prices are over 600 pounds but at 15 there are some that are at 500 and below

 

i found few that are under 500 pounds on amazon.co.uk

the Acer Aspire V5-473 it looks pretty good and well built but i dont know much about it

the Lenovo U330  which are normally well built

 

both of these are thin and light at 1.8KG and both have an intel i5 4200U
