The fascination with weight always amuses me. I want power with portability. How hard is it for people to carry an extra pound or two?

When you are constantly traveling and lugging your laptop around or between meetings and such? Personally I want stuff as light as possible.

The laptop is added weight rather than the only weight you’re carrying.

As a baseline I am lugging my laptop to and from the office via public transport 3 days per week (yay hybrid). On there trips I am carrying a backpack with lunch, water, gym gear, a few papers and the laptop.

Then there’s the 2ish business trips per month where the laptop is carried through airports and hotels, getting used in lounges and cafes. For these trips it’s in a backpack with a power adaptor, many more papers, pens etc and whatever else I need for that day on the road.

All this is giving me a bad back!

As someone that uses public transport yes, extra pounds start being a nuissance real fast

Good thing we have choices, eh? It’s not as if the only choices we have are thin and light devices
