35 kg, and the Honor MagicBook Pro 16 is 1.7 kg. So there's room for making it lighter.

Scond, $1300 USD for the cheapest (no dGPU) version is a bit expensive for my taste. If it was available right now, I'd impulse buy it. But if it's gonna be available in March, might as well wait for all OEMs to show their cards. I'm sure there'll be more competitive options like the Mechrevo Code 02

Third, 2 kg is a bit heavy. I can live with it, but for comparison, the LG Gram 17 is 1.35 kg, and the Honor MagicBook Pro 16 is 1.7 kg

Now, battery life depends on load and hardware.  My MacBook Air M1 gets insane battery life.  Modded with a thermal pad and on my old school aluminum brick laptop cooler (someone tell cooler master to crank these out again) it holds it own against the R7 4700U in performance and the screen is wonderful.  But, the 4700U at least in the Honor Magicbook 14, still gets upward of 9 hours, and allows me a choice of OS’s

M1 Air blew my mind as well. It didn’t slow down for a bit when I kept installing the apps I usually load a mac with (iTerm2, Docker, VSCode, Raycast, Karabiner, all browsers and so on) and the best thing was that even after running all this and keeping them open, the battery life was phenomenal. It’s like nothing I’ve seen before. I even ran Parallels on it, running Windows on ARM, me watching videos on YouTube on Chrome and the battery still went on and on. Lasted about 11 hours in total with a pretty decent usage in all these apps.

Simply magical.

It really depends. My Latitude 2-in-1 gets 20+ hours of battery life. It's got all the ports and the pen and its a wonderful device. Imagine if a MacBook Air was a 2-in-1. It's like that. I like Windows 11 a lot. There's also the Intel Evo devices which give better battery life and a lot depends on the quality of the device and the battery size.

The M1s sound mostly nice and fine for most people.

Would love the MBP 14, but I have a barely 2-year old 2019 16 inch.

Wondering if it's worth it to sell this and drop another ~$700+ (really depending on how much I can get on FB marketplace, offer up, etc.) to "upgrade"

I added iPad Air connected to Cricket for $25. (It seems you can just pop Cricket phone Sim into iPad, and it gets data).  I pay for iCloud subscription. By keeping my docs in iCloud, I am able to get some tasks done on the road here and there. I know it’s possible to do with Dropbox or one drive, but it got pretty seemless with iCloud. My next goal is to give up Office as Pages / Numbers are free. Not sure I can give up Excel.

I have the Macbook Air M1  2020 and it consumes battery like crazy so I keep it plugged up to charge alot.

<div class="md"><p>I have the Macbook Air M1  2020 and it consumes battery like crazy so I keep it plugged up to charge alot.</p>
</div>

<div class="md"><p>So after upgrading my machines to Windows 11 and finding that I hate the new explorer and settings, I decided to consider the Macbook M1. I have a top of the line Thinkpad Yoga that&#39;s about 1 1/2 years old and I upgraded that to Windows 11 as well. The Thinkpad only gets at most 2.5 hours on the battery so every time I am traveling or out at client offices I am constantly searching for a power plug. I was in Costco and was looking at the Macbook Pro M1 and my wife kept pushing me to try it. I can return it if I don&#39;t like it so what&#39;s the risk. I purchased it and man I am glad I did. The M1 is a monster. It tears through every task and program at record speed with no heat and barely any battery use. I was at the hospital working on the M1 all day while my wife was having surgery and I used it hardcore for about 5 hours and the battery was only down to about 84%. My Thinkpad would have needed a nuclear power plant to run for that long. </p>

<p>I have purchased Macbooks in the past only to return them because I didn&#39;t like the hardware or software. They never really impressed me. The M1 is a completely different animal. The hardware is well built, the software is solid as hell and everything just works so well together. I have an Iphone and can send/receive texts, make calls, contacts, etc. Everything is just so nicely integrated I can just get work done. With the Windows machines it&#39;s always CRASH, DRIVER PROBLEM HERE, PROGRAM DOESN&#39;T WORK THIS TIME, CRASH AGAIN, FREEZE, CRASH, FREEZE, ETC. I could never get work consistently done on any Windows machine for years. Even on my top of the line Ryzen 7 that has a top of the line ASUS Motherboard and two AMD RX580 GPU&#39;s, it&#39;s still not completely stable. It doesn&#39;t matter how much hardware you throw at it or what you do - Windows will always crash and cause issues. One of my hobbies is producing music and I use Ableton and the system always maxes the CPU and glitches the software and does all kinds of crazy crap that ultimately stops me from working nonstop. </p>

<p>Furthermore, even if you don&#39;t have stability issues, the integration of trying to use MICROSOFT PHONE between the laptop and IPhone is sub-par at best. Nothing integrates well and that ultimately causes loss of time. Yes, I am a technical person but I also need to get work done and pay bills so screwing around with OS&#39;s and software isn&#39;t a luxury I have when running my company. I just need something that works and is super stable. </p>

<p>Yes, I have tried Linux and Linux is incredibly stable and I love it but Linux doesn&#39;t have native Microsoft Office support or an alternative to Outlook (Yes, I have tried them all including Evolution). Linux is just missing too many commercial software programs including MS Office, Ableton, Etc. I have tried the Linux alternatives and they always fall short or I just don&#39;t have the time to reinvent my entire workflow after 20 years of use. Maybe when more commercial software comes to the Linux side, that will be the way to go but it&#39;s not there yet. </p>

<p>Anyway, after using the M1 Mac for about 2 months, I freakin love it. It&#39;s literally the best laptop/computer I have ever used. I was having my Ryzen desktop run all three of my monitors but I have since replaced the 3 monitor home setup with my M1. The M1 is so powerful it has no problems running multiple monitors without delay. Try that on my Thinkpad and you will see performance loss immediately. Trust me, if you are thinking about getting an M1, get it. It&#39;s a monster. </p>

<p>The M1 burns through everything you throw at it and memory management is just ridiculous. I can have a Windows VM running, all my regular software, Outlook, etc and the memory never gets overloaded or maxed out. I only have 8 GB memory and I have yet to hit a wall. And believe me I have tried. If you hit the memory limit which is very difficult, the SSD caching is so fast you don&#39;t even notice. </p>

<p>Mac OS is much better now and they really cleaned it up and made is so much better. It does take some time to get used to it coming from Windows but if you stick with it, you will get it. Expect a couple months to get really proficient and used to it. I struggled for a couple months with the key shortcuts etc but now it feels normal. Stay with it and you will get it and it will be worth it. </p>

<p>The only system crash I have ever had was the Brave browser getting hung up on a music video one time. Besides that, I haven&#39;t had any crashes or problems. The underlying linux/BSD is just so dam stable. One program can crap out and the OS just keeps going. You will never see a blue screen or driver issue bringing the machine down. It just doesn&#39;t happen.</p>

<p>This has to be the biggest leap in technology in a long time. The M1/ARM platform is amazing and Apple actually pulled it off when Microsoft tried so many times and failed. Trust me, if you haven&#39;t tried the M1 yet, you are missing out.</p>

Deliver necessary portability with uncompromising features on the new LG gram 17Z990. It has a huge 17 inch WQXGA (2560x1600) 16: 10 IPS display, while still slim and light enough to take anywhere. At under three pounds and delivering almost 20 hours of battery life, this LG gram is great to carry around for a long day of work. The 17Z990 also impresses with an 8th gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM, a 512GB solid state Drive, and USB Type C connectivity.

Consumer Reports

This 17-inch LG laptop weighs 2.9 pounds, which is about 2 pounds lighter than its nearest competitor. As a result, you can easily take it with you across town to the local coffee shop or back and forth to your office without thinking twice.
With an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of memory, and 512GB of solid-state storage, the LG Gram 17 packs more than enough power to handle more demanding tasks like editing 4K video, which many smartphones today can shoot.

RTINGS

The best business laptop we've tested is the LG gram 17 (2021), a well-built ultraportable laptop with long battery life. Its 17-inch screen is great for split-screen multitasking, and due to its larger size, there's enough room on the keyboard deck to include a Numpad, which is handy for those working with lots of numbers. The keyboard feels great to type on for extended periods, the touchpad is large and responsive, and there are many ports for wired peripherals and external displays. Performance-wise, its Intel 11th Gen. CPU is more than capable of handling productivity tasks like text formatting, web browsing, spreadsheets, and presentations. The keyboard gets a little hot under load, but the fans are quiet, so you don't have to worry about causing too much noise.

If you prefer a more compact laptop, get the Dell XPS 13 (2021). It's also an ultraportable Windows laptop, but its smaller size makes it much more portable. While you don't get as much screen space for multitasking, and you lose the Numpad, you're still getting a premium device with a comfortable keyboard, responsive touchpad, and enough battery life to get you through a typical workday. The biggest drawback is its limited port selection, which consists of two USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports.

For Mac users, we recommend the Apple MacBook Air 13 (2022), one of the best laptops for business and personal use we've tested. Like its M1 predecessor, the 2022 model feels exceptionally well-built and is very portable. It has a new design, a brighter and slightly larger display, a better 1080p webcam, and a faster M2 SoC. Alternatively, you can go with the older Apple MacBook Air 13 (M1, 2020), which is cheaper and often on sale. It isn't as sleek or shiny as the new model, but as far as laptops go, it's still one of the best-looking and most premium ultraportables you can find. Plus, it has longer battery life than the newer model.

If you don't want to spend too much on a high-end mobile workstation like the MSI WS76 (2021), the LG gram 17 (2021) is a great option. This well-built model has a spacious and sharp 17-inch QHD display, but it's still very portable, thanks to its thin and light design. You can configure it with an Intel 11th Gen. Core i3, i5, or i7 processor, up to 16GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage. Its battery life sits around 13 hours of light use and charges over USB-C, so you don't need to deal with a proprietary power adapter. You get plenty of ports, including USB-As, USB-C/Thunderbolt 4s, an HDMI, and a MicroSD card reader. Unfortunately, the display's factory calibration isn't very good, meaning you'll need to calibrate it before you do any work.

A macOS alternative would be the Apple MacBook Air 13 (2022). This thin and light laptop has plenty of power to handle photo editing; the downside is a smaller 13-inch display. Also, it only has two USB-C ports, meaning you'll likely need a dock if you want to plug in multiple peripherals. Its M2 SoC is plenty fast, and the battery lasts around 10 to 11 hours of light use. If you want to save even more money, the older Apple MacBook Air 13 (M1, 2020) is still available. At its regular price, it's cheaper than the M2 MacBook Air, and it's often on sale, so you'll likely see it deeply discounted for Black Friday. Its M1 SoC isn't as fast, but still more than capable of handling most photo editing tasks.

This 17-inch LG laptop weighs 2.9 pounds, which is about 2 pounds lighter than its nearest competitor. As a result, you can easily take it with you across town to the local coffee shop or back and forth to your office without thinking twice.With an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of memory, and 512GB of solid-state storage, the LG Gram 17 packs more than enough power to handle more demanding tasks like editing 4K video, which many smartphones today can shoot.

 I wish it was a bit bigger, there was room for this.The other issue is by default the laptop is set to too aggressively throttle in software and requires tweaking.Other than that fantastic all around, 2 nvme slots, 1 upgradable ram slot, lots of IO.

Apple kills the non-Touch Bar MacBook Pro

 the Lg Gram 16, which is officially the world's lightest 16-inch laptop, which is impressive, although there aren't that many 16-inch laptops on the market. The only other one I can think of really is the Macbook Pro 16, which weighs 2 kilograms. This weighs about the same as a Dell Xps 13 at just 1.19 kilograms

 You are of course going to get much better performance from something like this, although of course you are compromising on it being thicker and heavier. But really, unless you're regularly using demanding apps, the power on offer here with Intel's 11th Gen chips will be more than enough for editing in lightroom, watching Netflix while you're procrastinating on my essay, or even putting together a friend's lockdown birthday video montage in Premiere Pro. It's nothing like as rich or full as you get on, say, the Macbook Pro or even a Dell Xps. Speech and effects are clear enough, and it gets reasonably loud and noise levels, although it does still depend on the laptop, but there's just not much bass to round things out

 Although of course that would compromise battery life and maybe maybe a more aggressive price. These are very expensive as I say at about 1500 pounds or 1700, so you are definitely paying a premium for this ultra lightweight design. That said, I have seen the 16 listed for as low as 1250 pounds already with a lower spec and this actually looks like even better value as you're still getting all the main gram benefits. But what do you reckon? would you go for the 14? Which I don't have, the 16 or the 17 or none of the above? let me know in the comments below

 This lasted me 14 and a half hours in my Youtube battery test, which is almost twice what I've seen in other machines. and I think combined with this incredible portability, this is one of the most interesting laptops of the year so far. But there is a small catch, and that's the price. These are not cheap at 1500 pounds or 1700 depending on the spec, it's expensive, and it's got a lot of very good competition not least its own bigger brother, the Gram 17, and actually they share the identical specs exactly the same

The only difference is this screen size 17 versus 16. They're both 16 by 10, of course, so you can't really go wrong with either

2021 LG Gram 16 Review - World's Lightest 16-inch Laptop!

4.7 pounds is pretty normal for gaming and workstation laptops at 15 - 17 inches.  I think a large M1 laptop at half that weight would be very nice, see the LG Gram 17 for instance.

Sorry people are being shitty to you. 

I agree, I had a max spec 2008 15” MBP and at 5.5 pounds it was heavy. My 4 pound 2016 15” MBP was noticeably lighter and I’m not interested in going back to 5+ pounds so I’m getting a 14” M1 Max model.

You seem to be confusing a laptop for an iPad. You seem to want an iPad so have at it.

<div class="md"><p>You seem to be confusing a laptop for an iPad. You seem to want an iPad so have at it.</p>
</div>

<div class="md"><p>Apple&#39;s decision to go back on certain design decisions (especially ports) has garnered much deserved praise. But one thing that almost no one has mentioned is how much heavier the new MBPs are. That&#39;s one design decision I&#39;m skeptical about going backwards on.</p>

<ul>
<li>old 13&quot;: 1.4kg/3.0lbs</li>
<li>new 14&quot;: 1.6kg/3.5lbs</li>
</ul>

<p>The new 16&quot; is only a hair heavier than the old one, but it already felt way too heavy before. Almost 5lbs feels like the early 2000s!</p>

<ul>
<li>old 16&quot;: 2.0kg/4.3lbs</li>
<li>new 16&quot;: 2.1kg/4.7lbs</li>
</ul>

<p>I remember when Apple released the Macbook Air in 2008. The most spec-obsessed techies criticized Jobs for removing the optical drive, saying it was too impractical for &quot;serious work&quot;. (Back then, Jobs was non-stop criticized after every product release, which makes the &quot;This wouldn&#39;t have happened under Saint Jobs!&quot; stuff very funny.) But it was hard to appreciate the value of an ultralight ultrathin computer until you used one. Weight doesn&#39;t wow you on a spec sheet, but it turns out to be one of the most important features.</p>

<p>Let me be clear: <strong>It&#39;s not bad that the new MBPs exist for pros.</strong> For the few that need it, desktop level performance in that form factor is mindblowing. But I suspect there are diminishing practical returns on all this power. This isn&#39;t a smartphone, so I&#39;m also skeptical as to how useful this super long battery is. For most of us, this seems like a bad trade off. </p>

<p>The weight is maybe a tolerable sacrifice for the macbook pros, because these are pro machines for pro use cases. <strong>For the rest of us?</strong> I hope Apple keeps making the Macbook Air thinner and lighter (so long as it doesn&#39;t compromise durability).</p>

<p>TLDR; Apple has been making all their products heavier lately, which is fine, but it seems like the wrong move when it comes to their laptops. Interested in what others think?</p>
