I'd buy one of these today if the screen were bigger than 12.5". I wouldn't be able to read anything on that. Scaling everything is not a realistic option.

For me the selling point is the small screen for travel and portability. I can always use a monitor or my desktop. Maybe they'll make a 16in option like FrameWork for people like you?

But VGA is perfectly legible on a 12 inch screen.
