[Spring 2021 edition] 14 recommended 1kg mobile notebook models

 There are many people who are working from home (telework) at work and have more online classes at universities, and have more opportunities to carry their laptops. If that happens, it should be convenient if it is a lightweight product that has highly practical specs and sizes.

Therefore, this time we will focus on laptops weighing less than 1kg. UMPCs (ultra mobile PCs) with a display size of 9 inches or less are excluded.

 The condition of 1kg or less seems to be strict, but there are plenty of choices now. In addition to the thin and compact body, it has a tough build, such as a "military grade" that has passed the MIL standard compliant test set by the US Department of Defense, and a design that assumes the pressure of a crowded train. There are many products that have both, so you can carry them with confidence.

In addition, the specifications of the 15 products featured this time are also substantial. The CPU is Core i3 or higher, Core i5/i7 is the core, and sufficient performance is ensured for business and online classes.

In terms of interfaces, in addition to high-speed data transfer speeds, it is also a point that many products are equipped with Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, and USB 3.1 Type-C ports that enable charging and output to external displays. Although it is necessary to check the power supply capacity suitable for the notebook PC, it is easy to use a general-purpose USB PD compatible charger and to link with an external display.

 The number of notebook PCs weighing less than 1kg is increasing, not only because of their light weight, but also because of their durability and specs. I would be happy if you could find one that matches your budget and purpose.
