There's the 11.6" Mirage II from PC Specialist which is £237 if you remove Windows 8. <a href="http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/mirageII/" target="_blank">http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/<u></u>notebooks/mirageII/</a><br>

That sounds interesting. Thanks. I've bought two desktops from pcspecialist and have been delighted. My only gripe is that they absolutely refuse to talk Linux as part of company policy so you are on your own if there are OS problems or incompatibilities. When I spoke on the phone a few years ago, they told me off the record that every batch of laptops that comes in has a variation in the electronics in some small way that 'might' affect Linux drivers. I imagine things have stabilised since then but it does make me slightly wary. Am I being over cautious?<br>
<br>
The size would be ideal - it isn't much bigger than my Sammy, but the spec is even better than my current desktop.<br>
