One issue with the 13" SB 2 is that the discrete graphics base is not the same video card as the 15". It is significantly less capable, given that I'd want it to do gaming duty as well. I assume there was a total electrical power constraint but if they'd put the 15" graphics card in the 13" model then it'd be much more attractive to me.

I have the philosophy, honed by lugging extremely heavy laptops around the world for too many years, that smaller and lighter is better. When I am home or at work a docking station and 'clamshell' mode gives full size keyboards, monitors, and mice.

We recently sent back the 14" Lenovo X1 Yoga loaner that Lenovo gave us. Everyone liked its keyboard more than the Dell 13" 2-in-1's we are trialing (more travel, better feel) but every one *also* picked the Dell's to keep because there are noticeably lighter and smaller.
