Lenovo IdeaPad S210 59387503 11.6-Inch Touchscreen Laptop (Black)
At ~$300, you can't go wrong with this laptop.
The Processor:
I plugged it into my Asus 1080P monitor and it performs just fine (mostly videos). I worried that the Intel 2500 Integrated Graphics couldn't handle it, but it did just fine. On top of that I plugged in my USB 3.0 to DVI external video card from startech.com into the USB 3.0 port, and it was stable (this method puts a strain on the CPU when going through USB). So I had two monitors coming from this thing, and it did even run warm. The Video feeds struggled a little more than Lenovo Thinkpad T430, but a negligible amount.
The Trackpad:
This area leaves some things to be desired. The trackpad is not super sharp, but you get used to it quickly. The Left & Right click are somewhat small, so it is best to get used to tapping the trackpad to left-click.
The Keyboard:
Doesn't depress as much as I would like to. It has a similar feel to the Microsoft Surface depressing keyboards. But you get used to it. The keyboard isn't cramped at all.
The Touch Screen:
Responsive, and precise, just like an ipad.
At first, the touch interface would not resume after sleep, I'd tap the screen and nothing would happen. A quick bios driver update from the lenovo website fixed that.
The Battery Life:
2.5 Hour max. Plug this thing in whenever you can, not a huge drawback, I use this for studying in the library, so there's always an outlet on the table.
