There’s the pinebook pro going out now. It’s not going to blow you away with its speed, but it’s much better than the OG pinebook

Pinebook pro is 14" following the apple model of "more power must have a bigger screen".

But it's a pretty low end system intended for experimentation. The store page warns you not to buy it if you are picky about hardware quality.

There are a lot of great deals on MacBook 12's now that it's end of line. I think you'll probably find the Pinebook 11" seriously lacking in power.

Otherwise consider a Surface Laptop! The 3:2 aspect ratio is surprisingly sticky

I own a pinebook. It's a fun little machine, but if you need anything other than light web browsing (without javascript) and basic text editing it's insufficient. It's also based on an Allwinner SoC that only has ok Linux support: https://linux-sunxi.org/Main_Page.

Also, the keyboard is cramped and has an odd layout.

The Galago is actually about the same size as 13 inch laptops a few years ago. Bezel reduction has contributed a lot to shrinking laptops.

install linux on the MBA? Its kept my 2011 13" alive and kicking
