Are they? Compared to XPS and Surface Laptops?

Also, Macbooks are in no way lightweight. Nothing Apple makes, including their iPhones, is lightweight.

You're right. The Air branded products, the iPad Air and Macbook Air, are counters to what I said about nothing Apple makes is lightweight.

Although, the MacBook Air is the same weight as the 13.5" Surface Laptop, so it's not like the Apple is magically lighter. And according to the specs, the Surface Laptop is actually thinner.
