Looking for a cheap general use laptop for browsing the web, typing up documents, and multimedia.
Also going to be used to learn programming.
My choices for less than a hundred dollars are an Asus t100ta transformer, or a Sony Vaio VPCSA28GG.
Battery life is important to me, but so is performance.
What do the tech geniuses on g think I should go with?

Asus Chromebook 14 or Toshiba Chromebook 2. Hack it to install a real distro.

Michael Jackson never died, he just completed his transition to basic white girl.

I got a refurbished laptop which have been used for office work for myself.
The battery life is only 5-6 hours, but other than that, it is a good laptop.
It is really cheap to do it this way.
I got an x220 for about $250 one year ago, but there is a lot of options out there.
The x220 has really bad speakers, and it is rather small, so watching movies is not really what it is good for, but I don't really know of any laptops that are good for that. (you could always plug in external screen / speakers or headphones)
What you are looking for in a laptop is fast storage and a fast processor.
This means documents are build as fast as possible (and yes, this also matters if you build continuously).
Graphics in the "mid range" is a waste of money, either get a really powerful graphic card so you can utilize it for your programming needs, or just get something that is fast enough to render video.
