Looking for a cheaper slim laptop / notebook for general browsing/video/music use that will remote well into powerful PC for work program usage (heavy computational and gaming).

Sought After Specs:
Brands? Whatever Goes
Though about models? Surface Pro 2, etc
Price > $500 (even cheaper with sales/whatnot would be nice)
OS? Windows #
SS drive preferable
4GB ram min, option to upgrade preferable (feasible?)

Anythoughts would be gratefully appreciated,
Nick

This looks perfect however are you aware of something similar / slightly faster? Also most heavy duty work I would run through it would be some hefty excell doc formatting and word/powerpoint doc useage with expansive graohic formatting.....would this suffice? (unsure of most important properties but for example: excel documents to be creating graphs and modifying (up to 10 rows 10,000 cells each, 10 pages) powerpoint and word documents used being over 75MB. This and movies

On second thought 2gb ram seems to small for what I am after unfortunately, any suggestions? I would be doing a lot of swapping between multiple open tabs, mail, skype, programs, etc
