Ask HN: Any decent laptop in 12 inch or less class this days?

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a second laptop that I can carry around everyday. Previously I used Sony 8 incher, but its battery is about to kick the bucket.

Any suggestion on a machine with bearable screen and real battery life in 6+ hours?

The few non-atom based machines were either ultrathin class laptops with microscopic batteries, or chromebooks without expandable storage.

Surface Pro 4 - You'll get 6-8 hours of battery if you optimize some settings, and it's 12". I have no issues being productive on the type cover (I'm sure it can't be worse than a keyboard on an 8" laptop).
