Best Lightweight Laptops
Filtered to under 1.6 kg and ranked by the ultrabook profile — battery endurance, portability, and display quality over raw power.
Every gram matters when you're carrying a laptop daily. This list is filtered to machines under 1.6 kg — a threshold that separates genuinely portable ultrabooks from heavier productivity laptops.
Being light isn't enough on its own. We apply the ultrabook scoring profile, which rewards all-day battery life, slim chassis design, and display quality alongside low weight. A 1.4 kg laptop with 5-hour battery life isn't a great travel machine.
The laptops here range from ARM-based MacBook Airs to Intel Evo-certified Windows ultrabooks. Use the brand and price filters below to find your match, or adjust the weight slider to tighten or loosen the threshold.
