FWIW if you want a little smaller and end up in 11.X", the R11 is fine, but I really like the CTL NL61T. Similar specs and price, but the quad core 3160 instead of dual core 3150, and is designed for abuse.

I bought one for my son late last year and have recently replaced my daily use windows field laptop with another one I liked it so much. It also just gained Android app support.
The only things that I don't love about the chrome OS is printing and scanning. Everything else it does better than windows and as well as Mac. It does so much better managing resources and OS updates are fast and never in your face.
I feel like I'd want one with tablet mode. Someone convince me one way or the other.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
