> 240 grams is twice as heavy as for example an average minidisc player (https://www.minidisc.wiki/equipment/sony/portable/mz-g750 https://www.minidisc.wiki/equipment/sony/portable/mz-g750) which could often weigh less than 100g. The parent comment chose an unusually large DAP with a big screen to compare to. It’s not really a fair comparison. Also the weights of old devices are usually listed without batteries, which could increase the overall weight by 50% or more. I had a minidisc player a long time ago. It was a quality one, but it wasn’t the lightest or more robust thing to carry around.
