I don't want to spend more than $1000 on this sucker. Currently I am looking at an Acer Chromebook or an Asus Zenbook.

Waddya think?
Important distinction, a Chromebook is not a laptop. Much in the same way a Smart Car is not an SUV. It pretty much just runs the Chrome browser, so it will do things like Facebook, online email, and even Office 365. Chrome also has a bunch of their own web based apps that work well.

Given a $1000 budget which is realistic, I'd make sure it has an Intel i5 or i7 CPU, at least 8 GB of RAM, and solid state hard drive.
