Ask Slashdot: How Should I Replace My Netbook?

Long-time Slashdot reader Kevin108 needs to replace his netbook: I've used and loved my Eee 701 for many years. None of the diminutive ergonomics were ever an issue. But the low-res screen, 4 GB SSD, and 630 MHz Celeron are a useless combo for current web browsing and modern software. I'm now in the market for a new device in a similar form factor.

I need a Windows device for my preferred photo editor and some other software I use for maps. It will often be used offline for writing and watching MKVs in VLC. I'm okay with a notebook or tablet and keyboard combo, but I've not found anything in a similar size with my feature requirements.
Any suggestions? Leave your best thoughts and suggestions in the comments. What's the best way to replace a netbook?

"I would like your advice about buying something new, in a very particular size, but I'm not going to tell you what size it is! Instead you will all have to individually Google it. Mwuahahahahahah!"

Good job editors... couldn't have looked it up yourself and added it? What the fuck then, do editors get paid for? I think between that and the declining quality of comments recently, I'm done with Slashdot. I used to say "I come for the comments" because the editing was so shit - but after yesterdays Google Home mini story where I read 14 highly-moderated comments and every one of them - every SINGLE ONE OF THEM - criticized either the technology or the people buying it as stupid or morons (when it's clearly fucking interesting new tech being used in interesting new ways) I can't say this site has any value for me anymore.

So long and thanks for all the fish.
