In the present, many believe the MacBook Air,\u00a0with its 2.7 pounds, is\u00a0the only Apple laptop you need.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There are many things to consider before buying a MacBook, though, including the various alternatives available. Laptops from other brands may offer better displays, higher storage, and longer battery life estimates than the Air&#8217;s already impressive 18 hours, and almost all of them are more durable.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Even the &#8220;Air&#8221; in MacBook Air isn&#8217;t safe from this evolution in laptop technology, as many of these competitor models are oftentimes just as light, if not lighter than even the smaller Air models. If you prioritize having an even easier laptop to carry or want a Windows or Linux-supporting MacBook Air alternative, you have many options to choose from.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">HP Pavilion Aero<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Lightness is a\u00a0luxury\u00a0feature of\u00a0laptops, as you&#8217;ll rarely find a competitive device that&#8217;s cheap and lightweight. You sacrifice a lot of better specs, even when paying premium&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2091048\/laptops-lighter-macbook-air\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 Laptops Lighter Than The MacBook Air https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2091048\/laptops-lighter-macbook-air\/ Publish Date: 2026-02-07 11:47:00 Source Domain: www.bgr.com&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":211035,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/img\/gallery\/5-laptops-lighter-than-the-macbook-air\/l-intro-1770050039.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[50],"class_list":["post-211034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-macintosh","tag-macbook-air"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211034"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211034"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211034\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":211036,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211034\/revisions\/211036"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211034"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211034"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
