The lightest laptop and ultrabook in the world (2024)- complete list

In this article, we’re discussing the lightest laptops and ultrabooks currently available in stores.

A laptop’s overall weight is one of my main concerns when shopping for a highly portable computer, the kind I’ll constantly grab along to work or school or during my commute, or something I can comfortably bring with me when traveling. In fact, a lightweight and sturdy build matter more to me than having the most compact footprint or the thinnest design, although in most cases the lightest laptops are also some of the thinnest and smallest as well.

How much does a laptop weigh?

These days, the average laptop weight is somewhere between 2 and 7 pounds (900 grams to 3.2 kilos), and varies depending on screen size and the capabilities of each design. Compact ultrabooks typically weigh 3 lbs or less, with the lightest models under 2 lbs (1 kilo), while powerful work and gaming laptops weigh 5+ lbs.

In between, you’ll find a multitude of all-around laptops that weigh between 3 to 6 lbs, based on their specs and features. The more powerful the machine, the higher the weight.

Manufacturers rarely advertise the weight of their laptops, but since many of you are interested in this sort of lightweight computers, I’ve put together a few lists of the lightest options you can find in stores all around the world based on a couple of criteria.

We’ll be looking at regular clamshell ultrabooks, 2-in-1 convertible laptops, Windows tablets, powerful gaming/work notebooks, and a few Chromebooks, so there’s something in here for each and every one of you.

I’ll also add that only the latest versions of each device are included in these lists, which I update periodically with new entries. At the same time, this article is not a top of the lightest laptops or a classification of the best lightweight laptops out there – you’ll find that topic more thoroughly covered in this separate article over here.

To make it easier for you to find what you’re looking for, I’ve split the post into several different sections, starting with:

I’ve also included details on the important hardware specs, screen size, and battery size for each unit, and the latter is particularly important when it comes to lightweight laptop computers, as some units skimp on long battery life in order to weigh as little as possible, and that’s not something I’d sacrifice on my everyday computer.

The lightest laptops under 2.2 pounds / 1 Kg as of 2024

These are the lightest laptop computers you can find in stores these days that weigh less than 1 kilo. I’ve included mostly complete laptops in here, but also a few tablet formats that keep under the 1 kilo limit with their included keyboard folios/docks.

Keep in mind that I’ve only included in here devices that can be utilized as fully functional laptops, which means devices that include a QWERTY keyboard. That means I’ve left out some tablets and some gaming handhelds that lack a keyboard, but otherwise weigh less than a kilo, such as the Steam DecK or the Asus ROG Ally or the Lenovo Legion Go.

Also, you should be aware of the differences in format, screen size, hardware and battery capacity on these devices, especially the lower you go on weight.

Furthermore, as a heads-up, make sure to look into reviews for more details on the overall build and feel of these laptops, as well as more insights on their ergonomics, performance and battery life, as some compromises were made with some of these ultra-light products in order for them to weight as little as they do, and it’s best to be aware of these compromises in advance.

These aside, check out our more detailed analysis on 13-inch ultraportables for a few more options that do not meet the strict weight limits chosen for this selection, but are still among the best ultrabooks money can buy these days, such as the Dell XPS 13, Microsoft Surface Laptop or the Apple MacBook Air. You should also check our Chromebook Buying guide for some more options in that class.

The lightest 15-inch laptops under 4 lbs

While full-size 15-inch laptops are not primarily designed with a lightweight chassis in mind, some of you might actually want a thin-and-light laptop with a bit more power and a larger screen, that’s why I’ve compiled the following list of 15-inch notebooks that weigh less than 4 pounds (roughly 1.8 kilos).

You’ll mostly find two types of laptops in this class. On one hand, there are the 15-inch models based on Intel Core i5/Core i7 U or AMD Ryzen 5/7 U hardware platforms with Intel/AMD integrated graphics, and I’ve only included those options that weigh less than 3.5 lbs in this class, in order to keep to a more manageable selection. On the other, there are the more powerful models built on Intel Core H/U or AMD Ryzen HS/H platforms with some sort of mid to high-level Nvidia GeForce dGPUs, and in this case, I’ve included those that weigh 4 lbs or less, as I feel slightly sacrificing on the portability is compensated by the vastly superior performance with these products.

If you’re looking for a more ample selection of excellent thin-and-light laptops with 15+ inch displays, this article is a must-read for you, as it also covers those options that go slightly over the limits we’ve set for this article, but compensate for it with higher-quality constructions, extra features, and capabilities that some of these ultra-lightweight models might not completely check for you.

There’s also a wide range of 15-inch laptops that weigh between 4 and 4.4 lbs, including both multimedia and gaming models. Check out this post for my detailed list of recommended 15-inch portable laptops.

The lightest 16-inch and 17-inch laptops

In case you’re interested in a lightweight laptop with a larger 16-inch or 17-inch display, the following table includes the few portable options out there.

The limits are aggressively set at 4.4 lbs (2 kg) for 16-inch models, and more permissively at 5.5 lbs (2.5 Kg) for 17-inch models, regardless of the hardware specs, and that’s because many of these larger products are full-performance laptops with powerful specs and modern features, the kind I’d expect you’d want in a larger-screen computer.
