There was a MacBook 12 inch like this that my business partner loved. It would last all day on a charge and he was building our app with it (Xcode and I think clang builds).
This was 10 years ago though.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

Thank you very much!
I need exactly something like that thing! :-D
Something I can just connect to a device to gather logs and don't need to care, that it's lying in the dirt for a few hours.
Currently I need to use my main laptop and I'm always anxious to get it destroyed. Either by dirt/dust or a careless worker in the warehouse.
So this thing seems to be just perfect for such tasks
Can't even express how happy and excited I am now, waiting for that sexy little thing to show up in my mail :-D
I like my T14 with touchscreen but I kind of wish I went a little smaller. Cost $300 refurbished with a 2 year warranty though, and it runs great!
It's a fair bit older than yours, but I've been so pleased with my X260. I originally got it as a side to my T480 but I find myself just taking the X260 when studying and leaving my T480 as a docked laptop because of the smaller form factor, battery life is way better (6 hours for my use) and for what I do (attending online classes, programming, and other studies) the performance is good enough (on LMDE, it probably wouldn't take Windows well anymore)
The later X series like the X280 have options for quad core processors I believe if you wanted more performance. Given I only paid $120AUD for my X260 and I like the slight chunkiness of it (feels more rugged for on the go) that the X280 lost, I'm not upgrading anytime soon.
It looks pretty cute. But holy shit the mouse on that thing looks awful to use.
The use case seems pretty limited:
"when I'm on the go and I don't have room in my bag for a full-sized laptop"
First, if you're on the go, do you need a computer with you? Second, if you do, that's what a dedicated laptop bag is for.
I don't really see the point in low powered small devices like this, when something like an iPad/Galaxy Tab/eInk tablet is far better suited to the typical tasks you'd use them for.
Idk, seems really cool but I have big hands and I'd be reluctant to get anything smaller than a full size keyboard. Definitely looking for a small linux-only laptop that still has all the ports I would ever need.
