 Not sure if that's specifically something I'll have to look for or if all modern computers will be up to the task. I'm in the US, looking for something <1K.

My Lenovo Thinkpad from nearly a decade ago hasn't been working too well for me lately, sometimes struggling with video calls and buffering videos. Also, it's graphics card isn't good enough to run a few games I'd like to play (Civ 6, Ori & the Blind Forest, Journey). Not sure if that's specifically something I'll have to look for or if all modern computers will be up to the task. I'm in the US, looking for something <1K

The T490s manages to have the familiar matte-black-slab ThinkPad look without coming off as clunky. It's a surprisingly light laptop that makes an excellent traveling companion. It won't give you a sore shoulder traipsing through airports, and its 14-inch display offers enough workspace to perform general office tasks effectively and without feeling cramped.

After fully recharging the laptop, we set up the machine in power-save mode (as opposed to balanced or high-performance mode) where available and make a few other battery-conserving tweaks in preparation for our unplugged video rundown test. (We also turn Wi-Fi off, putting the laptop in airplane mode.) In this test, we loop a video&mdash;a locally stored 720p file of the same Tears of Steel movie we use in our Handbrake trial&mdash;with screen brightness set at 50 percent and volume at 100 percent until the system conks out.

 In fact, the T490s is closer in weight to Lenovo's flagship ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 7. A similarly configured Carbon, however, costs $75 more than my ThinkPad T490s tester, while a comparable T490 is only $20 cheaper. With a price closer to its bulkier sibling, and a size and weight closer to the Carbon, the T490s could be your best 14-inch ThinkPad buy.

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

 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.

They have so many models. Generally weight is due to additional cooling solutions as well. SO anyone looking for lightness could choose the 13" base or the Air. For people who really need more power should be happy with the 14 & 16" models. They are only a tad bit heavier than 13" model... so really not a concern. I mean when I life the lenovo T450 or something or put it in a bag pack - that is Heavy (all in my personal context)

<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>

Discussion: are macbooks getting too heavy?

. The speaker is terrible at high volumes and sometimes cause the whole machine to vibrate. What I love about this machine is the battery life, it last all day without having to recharge and that I can charge it from a PD power bank, which is another plus. Overall if you are looking for a 17" laptop for travel, this is perfect

Overall if you are looking for a 17" laptop for travel, this is perfect. For home use, I think there are way better options at this price point.

Ultra light for a 17"

 I like the weight and intent of this laptop, but the compromises are unacceptable, especially for the price. Laptop paint also chipped first day of light use.

Not so great

 Thermals are fantastic! This thing never even gets lukewarm!!! But. Probably because of that decision, it also doesn't seem to fully turbo boost even to 4 Ghz let alone the CPU's advertised 4.6 Ghz ever, even w/ all of the performance settings on max and it running off of outlet power.  It doesn't feel slow per se ( unless you compare it to say my desktop ), but plug 2 monitors in and you can definitely feel some latency if you're a power user

 They chose an unorthodox but genius resolution of 2560x1600 ( used to be what'd come on those big Dell 30" super expensive monitors which was the highest resolution you could get on a PC monitor for many years ). It's a 16:10 aspect ratio, which you never knew you needed, but once you try it and can see so much more content without scrolling it'll be hard to ever love a 16:9 laptop again. Move your taskbar to the left side of the screen and voila, you have a semi-desktop-like web browsing experience.

Here's what you came for:  THIS LAPTOP IS SO THIN AND LIGHT THAT I WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY PRANK A COWORKER THAT AMAZON HAD ACCIDENTALLY SENT ME A LAPTOP WITH NO PARTS INSIDE.  It's so light that it's arguably more portable than a 13" MacBook Pro. The featherlikeness combined with its unheard of battery life makes it DEFINITIVELY more portable than any current or previous 15" MacBook Pro if you need a full day's work, because you can easily get a full 10 hourson this skinny beast and leave the adapter at home.  Also props to LG for making the smallest laptop power adapter I've ever seen, it somehow fits in my pocket comfortably
