> hyperthreaded single-core processors

I don't think Intel has marketed a single core processor since the Core 2 era. You may want to look at Windows laptops again: it's now possible to buy a 1920x1080 13.3", 8GB RAM, and a 256GB SSD for $600 without any bloatware. It does have a weak dual-core hyperthreaded processor, but this allows it to omit fans.

Specifically: http://ark.intel.com/products/74390/Intel-Celeron-Processor-... (a "hyperthreaded single-core processor", as I was describing) or even http://ark.intel.com/products/58667/Intel-Celeron-Processor-..., which is single-core and not even hyperthreaded. These are being marketed unironically under some "Experience Brilliant PC Performance" marketing blurb.

And I have a garden that grows unicorns on a vine. Got a link to this mythical creature?

The mythical creature is the UX305. You have to apply the promotional code "SAVE100" at checkout to get the price I mentioned.

Yeah, and 1366x768 is only really still around in the very low end or the very small.
