Lightweight Laptops Under 1.4 kg

Every laptop here weighs under 1.4 kg by its maker’s own spec: light enough to carry all day without noticing. Remember to add the charger, which can weigh another 200 to 400 g.

Light laptops make trade-offs. They usually have fewer ports, so check you have what you plug in, and their memory is often soldered, so buy the size you’ll need later. Battery capacity tends to be smaller too, so compare it (in Wh) alongside the maker’s battery-life claim.

The lightest laptops are often 13 or 14 inches. If you want a bigger screen without the weight, a few 15 and 16-inch models come in under 1.4 kg as well.
