Good 11-14 inch ultrabooks? And e-book readers?

[dbzlotrfan]

I am somewhat in need of a new laptop to take notes at school with . . . I also want something like a kindle (or reasonable sized tablet(?)) for e-books

Ultrabook:

• 11-14 inches
• 2-~4 pounds
• I have a little bit of scoliosis . . . so not too heavy a system, but not too light that I hate the thing anyway.
• I may want to do some light gaming on it (anything from about 2007 or before shouldn't be much of a issue, should it?)
• Less than $550 if possible (I'm sure it isn't considering the SSD)
• Good keyboard, no Chiclet sort of keys (?) - I somewhat hate and slower on typing on flatter keys.
• I do NOT want an optical drive
• What else should I consider?

Anyone of experience with the Acer Aspire S5-391-6836 it seems like a nice ultrabook, seems to have a good processor (i5). For the price it seems like it should come with at lest some bit of hard drive space (not only a SSD) or more RAM. It's light enough, good enough processor, decent GPU, if it's still purchasable in a few weeks/months I may try to get this.

E-book reader

• Large enough storage (4+ Gigs I'd think)
• Reasonable screen size (5+ inches?)
• Reasonable battery life
• What else should I consider?
• I hope to use it for school textbooks so I don't have to lug those around, and at night before I go to sleep I can read some.
