Lightweight Laptops

All laptops

5 lightweight laptops from HP, Lenovo, ASUS and more. Prices run $1,640 to $2,399.

Laptops whose listing states a weight under 1.8kg and no separate graphics card. Not every listing states a weight, so this is the light machines we can prove, not every light machine.

We do not pick by hand: a laptop is here because its listed specs pass the checks.
