I personally like the 12" form factor, and I own one, but I saw approximately zero of them in the wild. It's significantly lighter, I can still get work done on it, it's great for travel... and yet I can't remember seeing other people using them.

I want a 12" netbook, but most options are garbage or overpriced. A 12" M1 OSX netbook would be a gamechanger.

you may not have seen them, but they are out there (raises hand)
