So the keyboard is a touch pad and the lid isn't foldable?? :-P

The Mini-9 I'm typing this on has no moving parts, and a built-in UPS
good for 4+ hours. Mine is running Ubuntu, but I'm sure Debian would be
fine. 1G RAM (the most they can sell with because they also run XP.
What monopoly?) with 16G SSD is $259 on the Dell Outlet site.
Interestingly, ONLY units running Windows are available, I guess no one
is returning ones with Ubuntu? Snicker.
The power brick is small, actually a wall wart, unlike the larger ones
other folks have mentioned. Three are obvious pros and cons to using a
small laptop; that's up to you.
Good luck,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
