Worst article ever. How do you write an article on lightweight laptops without remarking on the weight and size of the product? How heavy is the Macbook again? Also, on what planet is a 5.2 lb laptop *light*?
Please write about only the largest, lightest laptops. Small laptops and netbooks don’t count – of course they will be light.. they’re small. Wanna impress Johnny? Show me a 16″ screen with a 64 bit processor for less than 4 lbs.
