There is a thing about light weight ultra portables... ![:x]( "Mad")
Here's an update, it's not a good one though. I killed the laptop screen of the Lenovo by accidently standing on it whilst it was closed in a dark room. The screen didn't crack but half the screen is totally messed up so it's pretty much unusable (Pressure Damage). However it retained it's full touch capability which is functional as is the rest of the laptop components including the hinges. I've hooked up a separate monitor for now vie its HDMI output for now. I've already had to buy a replacement battery and now I'm awaiting for a new touchscreen as well. I guess I'm fortunate to be able to buy a replacement screen and just have to wait another 10 days for that to arrive and it will be all as good as new (I hope). But this cheap laptop is costing me more than I though it would. I guess I'm fortunate I didn't drop it down the stairs and break it completely. I've got a Toshiba Laptop I've looked after since 2008 and never had any accidents that it couldn't withstand. If I stood on that, it would probably laugh at me as it's built like a tank. Only has the new laptop for a month, and I guess accidents do happen. Just fortunate that it's not a really expensive machine.
