I've been running Apple stuff for years personally and every generation seems to become lighter and more powerful. But yeah, in my 30s I didn't mind lugging around the 17" Mac Book Pro with the CD drive removed and hackily replaced with an additional battery. Today its an up-to-date MBP 16" clamshelled away on my desk with wireless keyboard and the hot Apple display - but - when I travel its always the Mac Book Air ... because it weighs nothing. I do recall being a younger person and lugging around the latest, hottest Think Brick I could get my hands on but at the time nothing was "light" so there was no concept of "heavy". I don't think its so much an age thing so much as the fact that high power and light weight now come in the same package. Edit: Today its possible to be out on the town all day, meetings etc with a mere iPad and a keyboard. If I need to do some heavy lifting I'll bring the M1 Air - but remember having to lug around those gigantic charging bricks because machines ate watts and batteries sucked? I'll never miss that. So Lenovo shaved 1/4th a lb off the laptop but the charging brick got 1/2 lb heavier.
