My current machine is 1.5 kg, and reducing that by ~30% is appealing.
Yeah, the 10.x", 11.x" and 12" laptops were so popular since they were all lightweight 900g to 1.3kg or so. Which most modern 13" and 14" business laptops meet. Actually there is even a 16" under 1.2kg... the LG gram 16. But I recommend the Lenovo ThinkPad X1, HP EliteBook X, ASUS ExpertBook B9 or Dell Pro 13 / 14s. All of them are lighter than 1.2kg.
