The differenxe between a "heavy" and "light" laptop is about 250 grams, or the weight of a single apple.

If you can hike all day there is no way you are weak enough for this to even register.

Sure, I _could_ carry more weight, but I'm not sure why I'd _want_ to. Why should I sacrifice for example an extra pair of socks or a shirt, when I don't need to? Having a bigger screen or a faster PC doesn't matter more to me in light of that space and weight trade-off. I use a code editor from 1992, a programming language from 1989, and a tiling window manager with no frills. An N100 is more than enough.

You most certainly aren't familiar with heavy laptops.
