Windows 7 (I'll deal with Win8/8.1 if I have to)
NOT HP
Half decent battery life; can get me through ~3 classes per day (3hr)
SSD would be nice for boot/transfer times, but not necessary

Anyone have any ideas? I've seen a few Chromebooks that looked good, but I'm wary of the OS as I'm not 100% sure on compatibility with Windows/Microsoft programs.

Budget is up to 400$.
Chromebooks will not work with any windows programs and you have to be online to use some programs.
