I hate touchpads too, which is why almost all my laptops are/where Thinkpads.
I've taken a look at the c720 (they say 1.25 kg) and Lenovo's x131e (1.8 kg!)
and I must say I'm more and more surprized at the Chromebook trend.
They are cheap ok. However, I just purchased a second hand Thinkad X200 for
less than $250, it weights 1.4 kg and runs Debain perfectly (with TDE of
course) on a 64 GB SSD. The X201 is just a little more expensive for
Touchpad friends.
I understand it is fun to see if these netbooks can run with Linux, but I
doubt it is really usefull.
