That's usually the case.

Most of those needs don't have huge CPU requirements (or memory, for that 
matter).  I'd probably look at a lower speed i7 or an i5 CPU, 8 GB of 
memory.

I haven't really looked at anything that lightweight in a while, just 
because the costs were more than I wanted to spend.  I understand the 
Acer ultrabooks are pretty good, though.
