The X1 Titanium Yoga will start at $1,899

If someone is not tied to Windows, it's hard to justify this over a $999 MBA.

They target different markets. The Yoga line are laptops that can convert to tablets, and this particular model is their flagship. Also this Yoga is both thinner and lighter than the MacBook Air.

When I hurt my back and returned to work unable to sit, having a convertible was a huge lifesaver. It took a while to adjust everything to a standing lifestyle and having a pen tablet like the Yoga (I had a Dell 2 in 1) was amazing. While I now have a portable standing desk for meetings and such, while I figured it out the convertible was awesome.

Now I want a high-spec traditional laptop again though. :)

Can MBA run linux these days?
