    But… Do we need laptops any lighter than this? Like, I’m not moving around my 13 inch Macbook and thinking: “oh god this is a beast”. My biggest issue with laptops now days is battery life and performance, both of which my Macbook meets perfectly. Not that I like the OS or the company tbh, especially as a FOSS enthusiast.

      Weight is definitely old of those things that you only notice when you notice but it’s still just a nice to have rather that critical feature. Like a more ergonomic keyboard etc. Many good parts make a good machine.

      It’s one of my main criteria for my next personal laptop. I commute very frequently and travel between 2 homes, most of the time by bike and public transportation. I want to carry as light as possible.

      I have a tablet but it’s nowhere near the flexibility of a Linux laptop.

      I think we have gone way past the ideal weight for laptops. My favorite laptop weight wise was an HO from 2009. It was 6 pounds. That thing was great. You could sit it in your lap, and it would stay there. I have a MacBook at half that weight, and it slips off my lap constantly. Part of that is the material, but part of it is that it is so light.

      I really wish we could start focusing on ideal dimensions, rather than focusing on extremes just for the headlines.
