Also thick doesn't really need to be heavy. My Thinkpad x230 weights less than a pound more than a current macbook pro. Everything is easily accessible and replaceable, and it has a bevy of ports. It cost me about $250 bucks to upgrade it to contain 2 256gb ssds and 16gb of ram. -- edit -- just checked, current x260 actually is lighter than the current macbook pro.
