Ultralight laptops: what you give up
Sub-1.2 kg notebooks win travel days with instant wake and all-day claims, but ports, repairability, and thermals under sustained export or compile jobs can disappoint. Fanless designs stay silent yet throttle earlier. Prefer models with at least two USB-C paths and a proven keyboard. If you edit 4K or run local AI models, a slightly heavier chassis with better cooling may finish work faster. Choose mass for the job you actually do on the road, not the scale photo online.
