Google's latest chromebook (Pixel) is one kick ass laptop. Only downfall is it has 32/64GB storage that is soldered to the motherboard.. https://store.google.com/product/chromebook_pixel_2015

2 problems to me, it has google OS on it. Funny shit people trust Google and it's one of if not the biggest advertising company around but i guess that's another story.

Holly crap $400 be much better of picking up a second hand dell inspiron maybe even 2 if your lucky.
