Funny you should say that, I grabbed a GeChic On-Lap 1302 from Amazon last night shortly after making this post (and doing some research). Got one-day delivery and I'm using it to type this.

Here it is in action on my kitchen table [link]

Pros

  • The bigger screen is very nice
  • Hardware controls for brightness/contrast/color temp
  • No excessive CPU drain since it uses native HDMI
  • Works with either the USB 2 or 3 port

    Not sure about cons yet. It came w/ a stuck pixel but was able to fix it on a website. I guess having to plug in 2 cables instead of 1 USB is a bit of a con, but that was kind of the point. You can of course use a usb charger if you wanna plug it into a wall socket.

    It's thin and fits great in my small backpack that I use to transport this thing. Oh, I guess the resolution is a con? Who doesn't want a higher resolution!

    Here's a bonus pic of my cat -- she mostly likes the box it came in.

In your Amazon link, the top result is a "MyDigitalSSD 128GB (120GB) SSD" for $60. They list the speeds as:

  • Write speed up to 545 MB/sec
  • Read speed up to 430 MB/sec

    Now, here's a "Transcend 128GB UHS 3 SD card" for about $70. They lists speeds as:
  • Write speed up to 95MB/s
  • Read speed up to 60MB/s

I've seen recommendations for Transcend m.2 drives like this one, but I have no personal experience with it.

I bought this one for 7 USD shipped:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GNJBTVG/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is not flush, but sticks out much less than a regular sd card. For my Acer C720, the real rub is the machine trying to boot from the sd card. Sometimes it tries to boot, sometimes it ignores the inserted sd card (I'm running Xubuntu 13.10 off the internal 16gb ssd).

So having a card flush could be problematic, at least for the C720.

I gave up and went with a plug-n-stay usb which obviously I have to bypass at every boot.

But the sometimes-yes, sometimes-no booting of the sd card was driving me a bit mad.
