How is that possible? It's lighter.

Citation needed. I've heard MacBook keyboards tend to self-destruct when encountering small specks of dust though?

>full of Lenovo spyware

This is FUD. The ThinkPad line comes with stock Windows, which you can replace with Linux.

If the same screen sized laptop has bigger bezels, the grip is bulkier, less sleek overall form factor makes it feel heaver in your hand even if it's a few grams lighter. That's why it's called "feel" and not "is".

Citation needed. My MBPs haven't self destructed yet despite being daily in use for years.
