NetBook for use with 1080p 24" monitor?

[cburg]

Hi Forum,
I am thinking of using a netbook (chromebook) with my HD monitor. I would like to have a 12" light weight unit, but could live with a 3lb 13".
I need at least 4gb ram for heavy web surfing and stock trading.
Does such an animal exist?
Thanks!
Mike

<$300; Chromebook.
Would it be possible to use a regular windows pc with Chromebook operating system?
Thanks!

There are many linux distros that copy chrome os and can be installed on windows pcs or you could run Ubuntu if your looking for a lightweight browsing based OS.

I don't like Ubuntu. Thanks!

Just now looked it up. Looks like it should work. If you already have a computer to put it on this would work great.

Thanks Valiera. I am downloading it now. I have an old Dell Tower with XP. I will try overwriting it.

God bless!
