I could use a nice lightweight (Windows) Laptop that doesn't cut my bank account to ribbons.

Depending on how literally you meant 'lightweight', Acer is coming out with the Cloudbook at USD169, to compete with the HP Stream series, which seem to be going for around USD230.

I thought to take a look at that HP Stream for my wife and daughter to share. And quickly looked away. In use, it's very laggy, even doing basic things. That was with windows 8, but it was *bad*. It was masked because of the SSD, but it was still nothing that I'd put up with. So unless performance is not a consideration *at all*, I'd recommend a steer clear of the HP Stream.
