I've been day dreaming about getting rid of mine. Its not going to happen (any time soon) but its a nice dream world to live in.

I just want a small laptop. Not a phone. I hate the why apps and crap work and how files are stored. It's so annoying to use

Netbooks could have been great if they were started in 2015 and not 2005. Modern day ARM and perhaps future RISC-V could make them miles ahead.

I currently use a Chromebook for "on the go but needing a bigger screen and keyboard", as my thinkpad is too big for that task. I do however consider getting something like an X230 frequently, so I'm not stuck to Chrome OS because mine is not supported by any of the community "Chromebook to usable laptop with Linux" methods.
