Seriously, what laptop should one buy if you want something that's actually good nowadays? The Macbook Pro is overpriced and underspecced but MacOS is the best OS for laptops, the Dell XPS line is a meme, the Razer Blade looks like a solid choice but is gaudy and obnoxious, the Microsoft Surface Book looks like the best choice with the 2 in 1 mechanism and 3:2 screen but that's also expensive as shit if you want any decent configuration. It's also pretty heavy but I don't really care about a laptop being as thin and light as possible as long as it's under 4 pounds and has specs and thermals that makes it worth lugging the extra weight around.
What else is even worth looking at? Should I just wait until next year when more Kaby Lake laptops are starting to come out?
The good high end laptops are the business ones, like the thinkpad or dell inspiron
The problem is that you're looking for gaming laptops

I'm using an X230 right now and I want a 2 in 1 laptop, the only one that's worth getting is the X1 Yoga. The i5 3320m CPU I have in this has the same CPU benchmarks as the i5 Skylake CPUs in the new Thinkpads.

VAIO Z Canvas

ThinkPad X62 mod is a good substitute if you don't want to wait for the Retro ThinkPad Time Machine. There's always the VAIO Z.

Maybe small business, but I think you mean Latitude although Inspirons have been improving.

Xiaomi Notebook air 13.3"
Hate repeating myself but it's worth repeating. Laptop of the year. Check it.

Aren't disadvantages, ignored.

You asked about memes, not disadvantages

Oh yeah, forgot about that one. The screen is what I'm the most concerned about but a full HD IPS panel with 95% sRGB looks great for that price point.
Lenovo Thinkpads. I'm saving up for a Thinkpad Yoga

I was looking at the Yoga 710 but I got the X230 instead which is much cheaper and has the same CPU benchmarks.
