Moto 360 - Hackdot

I'll say it again; please advice me what non-Apple laptop to buy which can compete with my 11 inch Air. I tried many and all are more expensive than my 'status fashion Air' and they all feel/work like crap compared. Wobbly/shaky and expensive. But tell me what is better for the same price, I'll get one tomorrow and let's see if what kind of fashion we are talking about.

I quite like my vaio z 13" though they've stopped selling them now I believe. Higher spec than the best airs, lighter too and feels great to work on http://youtu.be/OWkG6wVWGds

I must say that my Dell XPS 13 is a pretty good machine for development. I can take it anywhere without any problems. Sure it is 13", but I can go below 13".

On the plus side, it has a Ubuntu logo on it instead of that crappy Windows logo.

Lenovo Carbon? Maybe it is bigger

I love how the X1 feels/looks, but 14 inch is too large. I find 13 inch actually on the big side. 10-12 inch for a laptop is what I consider perfect. But yes, good one; the X1 is a great machine. So we have one contender :)

The Lenovo Yoga line is pretty great in general. I've been eyeing them pretty hard recently.

I eyed them a while ago, but read a bunch of not very favourable reviews; anyone have hands-on experience for at least a month?

I'm typing this on the top spec Yoga 2 Pro, it's amazing. The main complaints from reviewers were as follows; - yellow tint on screen - Flimsy hinge - low battery life - backlight bleed

I'll address them in order. 1. there was a marked discoloration when i saw pictures on the forums, and i almost returned it due to bing scared. When i got it, nothing. Absolutely nothing, though it looked a bit over saturated, which i kinda like on a non-workstation device.

2. The flimsy hinge is not a problem, end of story. Its stiffer than a MBA or MBP,m and only wobbles significantly if you tap it real hard.

3. Battery life is a problem, but if you're like me, i use it in multiple short spurts, coupled with a few long ones. It lasts all day, and while i do wish for a bit more, as for waht it is, it's good. Not great, but good.

4. No backlight bleed, nuff' said.

Furthermore i have found myself using the touchscreen far more than i anticipated. It's hands down, IMHO, the best laptop availible today thats an ultraportable. Go get one.
