The cheapest Lenovo Yoga 900 at newegg.com is $1399.00 for a 13.3" 3200x1800 resolution LCD, i7 6500U, 16 GB DDR3 RAM, 512 GB SSD, 2 in 1 touchscreen display.
That's over double the price of the 15.6" laptop I ordered for my kid (same CPU, 8 GB DDR4 RAM, same size SSD, better video: GT 940). My kid uses a laptop with an external mouse and keyboard + Wacom stylus and pad + external monitor for Photoshop. So, the Yoga's capabilities would just be wasted.
She wanted a Sager laptop like her mom's. I told her she can have one if she's paying for it. But, she balked at the $2k price. She settled for the one I'm paying for.![]()

i suppose the logic is
smaller form factor = smaller, more closely integrated parts = more expensive
I guess so. I looked at newegg.com for an 11.6" laptop that has an i7 and 8 Gb of RAM. The only one I found was the following:
HP EliteBook Revolve 810 G3
$1604.00. That little thing cost even more than the Yoga 900.They're on drugs if they think I'm paying that much.

Should have not taught my mom to use FaceTime. Ngayon puro FaceTime na pag tumatawag sa akin. Kahit Gabi when I'm in bed na facetime pa rin if tatawag.

I have no problems with that.
What gets me is the increasing price as the laptop form factors get smaller. It defies logic. The companies that make them must be laughing at us.
It was easier years ago. Manufacturers kept smaller laptops weaker and reserved the most powerful hardware for the largest laptops.
This is from 2003. The white 12" Apple iBook G3 cost $900. The dark blue 14" HP Pavilion cost $1600. The silver gray 15" Sager (or Alienware) cost $2000. Smaller, cheaper. Bigger, pricier. Simple.
Somewhere between then and now, things got all mixed up. A little 11.6" laptop can cost more than many 15" and 17" ones.
