Laptops have not only become ubiquitous in today’s world, but they’ve also become indispensable. While we still have desktops, and smartphone technology has enabled consumers to draft and exchange emails, or edit documents on their mobile devices, there really isn’t a like-for-like substitute for laptops. 

Whether you are a student or a working professional, you still have to rely on a laptop to either finish class assignments, turn in your office reports, or even finish your presentations for that big meeting with your boss.

What this also tells us, is that we tend to carry our laptops around with us. No longer are we expected to work on our laptops inside a cubicle, or in the comfort of our homes. Most of the students prefer working in the library, or in an open space where they can truly tap into their creative outlet. Meanwhile, office-goers either work in their office space, at a coffee shop, or while commuting via trains or metros. Work is no longer a concept that is carried out in an enclosed space.

This makes it essential for laptop brands to provide sleek and lightweight laptops, and for the past few years, laptop manufacturers have been prioritizing convenience and functionality. While we were once burdened with heavy laptops that were difficult to carry, we now get thin and ultra-thin laptops, that weigh less than 1.5 Kgs. 

Apple, the most disruptive laptop brand in the world, initially brought about this change, when it launched MacBook Air over a decade ago. Since then, other brands too have jumped on the bandwagon, offering consumers ultra-thin and lightweight laptops at decent price points.
