I'm happy enough with my productivity on 13 inch, I probably spend most of the time remote using it as is with occasionally plugging in a external monitor. One advantage for me is it forces me to think about my apps usability on a smaller screen as opposed to 1080p at home where its very easy to fit everything in.

I recently went from a 14.1" to a 15.4"

The 14 was much more comfortable to use on a plane (I flew much more often back when I bought it), but I rarely fly any more.

What I have done a lot of lately is take "working vacations" where my laptop becomes my only computer for a couple of weeks while my son and I decamp to my folks' farm on his breaks from school. I love that my job makes that possible, but doing it with the 14" laptop got old after awhile.

My son uses a 10" netbook -- more because it's a good fit for his 8yo hands than for portability. He's still a bit small to type well on a full-sized keyboard.

(I voted both of my laptops, not his)

Not entirely clear if you are asking for what it is, or what we'd like it to be. I have a asus 1000he, and I think the ideal is 11-12" (i.e. just a hair larger). I'm considering upgrading to a Thinkpad x220 later this year, but I'm hoping someone comes out a non-overpriced SSD model with higher res screen (i.e. linux macbook air).

Do you mind telling us what size those all are so we dont have to look them up?
