I would be interested in an XPS13 in 13.3, 14.1 would be better and oversized at 15.4 would be awesome.  Anything less than an i7 for Android dev ( my day job ) is almost unbearable.  I have had a 60GB SSD for two years now and it's all I've ever needed.  128 is more than plenty and 256 is just me paying for space I wont use.  Memory is negotiable, 4GB is fine but we are developers, let us add more if we need to.  Give us options, we aren't grandmas, we dont get confused by options.

    @Crash18712... you realize we are talking about 'ultrabook'-s here right? The whole IDEA behind them is to be small, light and quiet. And you are seriously doing something wrong if you need an i7 to run the android emulator, as I have low-end dell desktop at work which runs it easily despite having a really low passmark cpu score. Even most of the i3's should be able to handle that.

    I wouldn't buy a laptop with less than a 15.4, ideally higher.  I use an external monitor as well, but I like to have two usable screens rather than one tiny one and one big.
