I suppose, but laptops aren't that small or meant to be as portable as a mobile. Also laptops aren't usually held while in use. But carrying 2kg in your hand or in a bag shouldn't be anywhere near an issue...
Then you need to check out the Everex SR7200T. A great 13" laptop with a better design and very inexpensive at around ~$799. I still think that an extra $200 or so for a Macbook is a better option, but it is a good deal just fairly unknown.
I'm tired of バカ trolls like you. Can you understand that there is a difference between being able to bench a certain amount or exercise with dumbbells, and swinging an extra 3-4lbs on your shoulder all day, every day?
My 15" laptop weighs only 3 lbs more than the Thinkpad X300. 3lbs is almost nothing right? Then why does my shoulder feel sore after a day of carrying around the heavyweight and not the X300 or Vaio TZ?
Carrying 2kg is hardly the kind of work which requires training in the gym, and if you can't take that kind of weight for whatever your needs are maybe you should be considering the lighter options. I didn't say there was no point in light laptops, just that 2.2kg isn't much to moan about.

Omg a whole 4.85lbs? That's like 2.2kg, and I'm sorry but if that's too heavy you must have literally no muscle on you at all...
Hopefully the price isn't too high though, I want a nice cheap 13" sometime...
You could extend that argument to nearly anything, to the point that it becomes absurd.
"So what if that cell phone weighs five pounds? Get some exercise!"

There's an entire target market of thin-and-light demanding people who would disagree with you. Just look at the MacBook Air, Lenovo X300, etc.
