idk - do consumers really notice if a laptop is 30grams lighter or if it will get them through a full day of work and won't hurt the joints in their fingers after a marathon of typing.

Apple makes the best laptop, no doubt but this laptop sucks and the direction they are going means it's just going to get worst.

Generally speaking, by the time consumers notice (or not notice, as the case may be), they've already purchased the machine. So it's largely irrelevant.

Except Apple have been shaving full pounds and more off of their laptops, don't know where you got the wrong idea that it's only 30 grams.

And yes, knocking a 5-pound laptop down to 3 pounds is quite noticeable and a huge boon.
