Is weight really an issue? We're talking less than a half pound difference between two laptops. I don't think that's an "issue".

- numbsafari 13y agoIf you travel a lot, every half-pound matters.
- ScottWhigham 13y agoI've travelled a lot and I'd trade a half pound for (15% or so?) for a 60% faster processor!
- gambiting 13y agoWell, I would not.
- omonra 13y agoThere is also a concept of 'fast enough'. My 2013 MBA is fast enough for anything I want to do on it. Actually, my 2011 MBA was fast enough as well - I only upgraded because of awesome battery life in the 2013 model. Further to that, I specifically chose the slower processor option (i5 vs i7) because i7 would reduce battery life (even if by 30 minutes).
- protomyth 13y agoHe is doing his compare against the 13", the 11" Air is 2.38 pounds. It matters for me. I had an Air and now have a Pro and it is a bit of a pain. Also, the whole bag is more weight since it is bigger than the 11" version.
