I am bit conflicted on this. Had 13'3 Air and got 12 rMB afterwards and while it's better at basically everything at times I do miss a bigger screen even though the resolution is almost doubled. Also the Air looks better when it's open on the table while rMB looks "too small".
Though obviously anything bigger and heavier than Air would be fucking ridiculous. It's supposed to be a PORTABLE computer not a smaller desktop.

I'd get Xubuntu on it and use Opera.

Interesting, I went through the same thing recently.
I bought an ASUS X200MA with a shitty dual core Celeron and 4GB, 500GB shitty HDD. It was so damn convenient. I carried it everywhere. Sold it for a 17" Lenovo gaming rig. I really regret it. The ASUS could go anywhere, had a touchscreen, was cheap, and I didn't worry much about taking care of it.
I think netbooks still have their place in society... I'm considering getting another similar 11" netbook. Any suggestions?

Why going from one extreme to another? Don't be a cheapfag and get an ultrabook. It's best of both worlds.

Find me an 11" ultrabook without the flip flopping screen shit / hybrid for less than $300. I need a laptop not a tablet.

Have to really be fussy over scripts and use XFCE/MATE, but I love this thing and I'll break my heart when it dies.

11" is pretty tricky indeed but go up to 12" and there are tons of non retarded choices and depending on bezels and the likes, the size might be the same.

When my desktop broke and I had to start using a 15" laptop that I cannot be arsed to move from my desk because of how wide and heavy it is

When I got an X60 because muh libreboot and ended up using it way more than my T420 Laptops are meant to be portable

Notebooks are supposed to be PORTABLE
anything more than 12 inches is literally autistic tier
got a chromebook earlier this year. couldn't be happier. I'm using every week day probably around 4h/day at college. that shit's got 10 hours of battery, it's unbelievable.

Suggestions?

Acer E3-111 line. Dual core Celeron, but passive cooling and very light. Change the HDD for a SSD and you will have a comfy notebook, very light and with no noise other than some coilwine once in a while
