Toshiba Portege, at about 1.1kg IIRC, was pretty incredible, around the time the Macbook Air first came out, lighter than the Air but with a DVD drive. It was my travel work laptop, before netbooks became a thing. It felt quite plastic though, nothing like a Macbook Air (which I got pretty soon after). Mechanical drive too, I seem to recall - I still have it upstairs and have it pencilled in as a first Linux laptop for my son.
