Well I may join my wife as a Chromebook user for "personal use" if the new hardware meets my expectations.

Toshiba is in the mix now also.

I want a guaranteed 8 plus hours from the battery. (Not considering Video.) 10 would be better. I envy the Mac Air user the battery life he gets.
An excellent screen but it doesn't have to be retina or IPS.
A small HHD but perhaps also a quick small SSD. (What would be really great would be being able to just choose to run on the SSD alone for some uses, with no fan, minimum heat, faster, and extended battery life.

My biggest quandary is choosing between an 11.6" or a 14" screen.
The 12.1" the old Samsung Series 5 had would be ideal, but I haven't seen that option lately.

And finally the DRIVING FORCE for my wanting to make a switch, at least in my personal life, is the ability to tell Microsoft "get lost."
