Compared to Ultrabooks, business notebooks offer more options with a more professional look. At the same time, they also tend to be thicker, heavier, and sturdier to accommodate the extra hardware and to give a better sense of endurance. Smaller business notebooks are an excellent solution for those who find 15-inch models too daunting while still keeping most of the business-centric qualities and features.

For this Face Off, we'll compare the three top 12.5-inch business models from the three largest providers of business solutions. The EliteBook 820 G2, ThinkPad X250, and Latitude 12 E7250 are all relatively new, so these are currently some of the best subnotebooks that the big manufacturers have to offer as of 2015.

We encourage users to check out our dedicated review pages below for more data and detailed analyses of each of the three models. This comparison is by no means a replacement, but a condensed aid for those on the fence.
