  But 14 inches (too big for me).

    What are these, laptops for ants?

      Try to use a 14 inch in a packet commuter train or in an airplane. 12.5 are small enough that they can be used anywhere, the whole point of a laptop for me. If I need more screen space when at home I can plug an external monitor.

        12.5" is tiny. I would not be able to fit both hands on the keyboard. That's almost at the point of the eeePC I once had that I had to balance on one hand, and type with the other. It worked for screwing around and pecking away a few notes, but I was some glad to pull out my 17" laptop if I had to actually do anything.

    The extra 0.7 inches is a deal killer? More important than double the ram?

      x200 are 12.5 inches, so that's 1.5 inch difference, yes it makes a big difference in usage.

All of them. It's actually illegal to sell a PC laptop with less than 32GB RAM. That's why people are so mad at Apple. They found a loophole by claiming their laptop doesn't count as a PC.

  What? Illegal under which law? Thinkpad x260 can't take more than 16 GB as far as I know!

Just bough a 14 inch thinkpad t460p with 32gb of ram for $980. The form factor isn't quite as sexy, but the specs compare favorably to the macbook pro, and the price difference is pretty absurd. It's entirely upgradable to boot.

  Where did you get it for 980? I tried configuring one and a base model with 8gb of ram and 256gb ssd turns out to be over $1250. With 32GB ram it goes above $1500.

    On the Lenovo site. I found a coupon for 30% just googling around. Unfortunately, I believe it ended 10/30. However, Lenovo often has sales/promotions, esp around the holidays. So I'm sure there will be more sales soon. Another trick is to just get the HDD option and buy an ssd off Amazon.
