The benefits of lightweight laptops

There are lots of reasons to choose lightweight notebooks over bulkier alternatives.

Portability
Lighter laptops can go anywhere. Compared to much heavier standard devices, you’ll hardly notice the weight of these small laptop models in your briefcase or backpack. That’s why lightweight models make great laptops for students, mobile professionals, freelance creatives, and anyone who needs a computer outside an office setting.

Convenience
With an ultra-lightweight laptop, you can take a powerful computer with you virtually everywhere you go. That way, you’ll always have the option of switching to a laptop when you want more computing power than your smartphone offers. A thin laptop is perfect for commuters and travelers who want to get work done on trains, planes, airports, coffee shops, and business meetings.

Style
Lightweight laptops simply look and feel great. With slender designs and elegant lines, lightweight devices have the head-turning appearance that professionals, creatives, and digital nomads are attracted to. And something is liberating about working with a device that’s so slim and light.

Fast startup and resume
Many of the best ultraportable laptops are equipped with solid state drives (SSDs), which are much thinner and faster than traditional hard disk drives (HDDs). The result: lightweight devices boot up fast and quickly resume operation after sleep.

Longer battery life
Slim laptops are usually built with components that require less power. That means the battery in a lightweight device will typically last a lot longer than batteries in larger, bulkier laptops.
