There are plenty of use cases for a portable computer. Moving to New York for 3 months for Hacker School comes to mind (it starts next week). I want the lightest one that works well. The End.

I'm gonna be that guy and say that you're probably looking for a Mac Book Air But this Asus on the article certainly looks good if you put Linux in it

  Even if you are eschewing OSX (as I will when I upgrade my current MBA) you should probably get a MBA.

  Funny you mention that. I, a Linux user, was deciding between the 13" Air and this Zenbook Prime, and chose the former, because the Zenbook reportedly has lots of issues and annoyances: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbookPrime https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbookPrime Installing on the 2012 Air wasn't exactly a walk in the park either, but that wiped out any Zenbook advantage. Now that it's set up, I absolutely love my Air running Xubuntu — it's the nicest laptop I've used. I'd recommend it to anyone. And as a bonus I can reboot into OS X if I ever want to.
