Don't do it!
I got a Lenovo 14" IdeaPad N42-20 and desktop to replace my 256gb MacBook Pro.
It turned out to be a bad idea, mostly because the screen is terrible. It's the same resolution as the Samsung 3 mentioned in the article.
It also seems so small compared to a 15". Side-by-side windows isn't very nice, either.
I find myself working less because I don't feel like sitting at my desk or using the Chromebook.
