I thought that was possible, but barely. If it isn't too finicky, I am absolutely getting one of these. It'd be perfect for a laptop dedicated to working on the site.

Would you really want to work on the site on such a small screen? I know I have a hard time coding without a fairly large monitor.

My current coffeeshop device is a Lenovo U260 which has a 12.5" screen.

ASUS and Toshiba have 13.3" Chromebooks that go for $250. That would feel like a step up.

I am not a very typical coder. I edit in WordPad. I've tried editors, and I keep falling back to WordPad. Someday I should hack Sublime Text until it is nothing more than a WordPad that counts parentheses.
