Are you limiting your size to 11.6" ? Cause for the money of those netbooks, you can get some decent laptops.

Theres this Acer Ultrabook with cache ssd although ive not been a huge fan of acer in the past, they seem to be getting better with the products they make...
or this Lenovo Ideapad for a bit less, but is a 14" model...
honestly, those netbooks you linked probably will do the trick, I personally wouldn't go below a 13" screen in size.
