You get used to a certain weight and then a larger weight feels much larger. I remember having a 12-pound cat and thinking it was very comfortable to hold her (in my lap, not walking around). Then I had a 9-pound baby and held her a lot, and suddenly a 12-pound cat felt very heavy.
(The cat lost a bunch of weight and died, and that 9-pound baby is 50-something pounds now.)
- gjsman-1000 2y agoThese days I’m used to a 16” MacBook. Once or twice I’ve picked up a MacBook Air and thought it a featherweight.
- vrosas 2y agoMy last company _refused_ to buy me an air (what I use personally) and instead insisted on sending me their "standard" specced out 16" MBP and I _hate_ it. Flying with that thing to the offsite felt like I was smuggling a cinderblock through security.
- mrweasel 2y agoAbsolutely the same problem here. The 16" is portable, but it is not a laptop made for travel. It's to big and to heavy. You can't use it on a plane, you can't even really use it as a laptop, it needs to be supported by a table. Traveling with that thing in my backpack is a nightmare.
