Conclusion

We have presented to you the TOP 5 thinnest laptops for 2018, which are very common in our stores and have good technical characteristics. Now you won’t have a question about which one is better to choose an ultrabook that suits your requirements.

Having several computers at home (laptops, desktop PCs, etc.) is a completely common situation. It’s clear that no one wants to wait their turn to check email, chat on Skype, or chase zombies through dungeons. Therefore, in addition to the gaming computer model, there is a simpler and more universal one, which the mistress of the house uses while the male part of the population repels attacks from the undead or performs another tank upgrade before an important battle. But these models of ordinary laptops have one drawback - they are quite large and heavy. But it would be nice to have a compact, thin and light laptop that you can take with you on a trip, vacation or business meeting. So let's take a look at such models.

Criterias of choice

Naturally, how can we do without defining the range of requirements for lightweight laptops. As the name suggests, the main condition is weight. This means we limit the choice to models weighing no more than 2 kg. This is, perhaps, the maximum weight that remains within the limits of comfortable carrying by everyone without exception.

The second criterion is screen size. I won’t limit this parameter too much; in particular, I will be interested in models with a screen starting from 11 inches. Anything less, it seems to me, is too little. This is some kind of re-tablet or non-laptop. In principle, 11 is not enough, but let’s leave it that way. This will be the most small laptop in our sample.

The third limitation is that we discard models with Celeron, Pentium class processors and their AMD analogues. This is completely budget-friendly, although there are models that are quite inexpensive and quite fit into the restrictions on weight and case size in the concept of “light computers”. Naturally, oh high quality materials, attractive design and performance are not in question.

The fourth limitation will be... but we won’t limit anything else. Neither the price, nor the processors used, nor the presence of a discrete video card, etc., etc. The only thing is that we will set the FullHD screen resolution as a wish, but we will not put much emphasis on this.

Lyrical digression

When we were choosing gaming laptops, looking at or, we tried to find the optimal price/equipment ratio without taking into account design refinements, ergonomics, prestige, etc. In this case, small laptops are chosen more with the heart than with the mind. For the price of some of the options discussed below, you could get a “coolest gaming machine”, and not this “garbage”. Surely someone will think that, they say, “what a price for yourself, and for what?!! Yes, for this money I would take an i7, GeForce 1060 and...” Well, the rest is clear. I admit, I myself hold the same opinion, but since someone lights up the stars (or rather, produces such computers), it means there is a demand.

But sometimes you need such “garbage” that will not become a burden on a trip, and will also look very respectable with its appearance, fulfilling a certain role as an image product. Translated – for “show-off”.

In this case, we will also take into account the design, even if it is not the prevailing selection criterion, but at least not the last. Considering the compact size and weight, there is no need to talk about serious gaming capabilities. The main task is to allow you to do ordinary work - office work, watching movies, surfing the Internet, even simple entertainment.

Let's divide the models by manufacturer, so it will be easier to choose something interesting for those who attach importance to the brand. We will also sort by price. Here it must be said that models, as a rule, have an nth number of modifications in a wide range of prices. I will take as a basis a certain “basic” configuration, which has a lower price.

And in general, when planning to buy a compact, lightweight laptop for work and travel, and so that you don’t feel ashamed in front of others, you should focus on a cost of around $1,000 or, in our money at the current exchange rate as of mid-March 2017, about 60,000 rubles. Plus or minus (most likely, of course, plus) at least another half of this cost for greater productivity, high-quality materials and the work of designers.

Well, the introduction has gone on for a long time, but it’s time to move on to the main course. Go ahead, reader, let's dive into the abundance of models, one of which may well become a future purchase. There are really a lot of models, and I won’t try to embrace the immensity. I will highlight what interested me, what attracted me or, conversely, unpleasantly surprised me. If you missed an interesting model, it’s not for the sake of self-interest. I would be grateful if you point out in the comments something interesting that is not included in the material.

Acer

The manufacturer has always been distinguished by affordable prices for its products and a large assortment. He has plenty of models, and especially their modifications, of light laptops. If you need something light, but for a minimum of money, then there are budget 11-inch, weighing only 1.25 kg, options with Celeron on board, and for only 14,000 rubles.

At the other extreme are designer models in very thin cases, in metal, etc. The prices are appropriate, although, in my opinion, not always justified. True, no matter how hard I try to approach this issue not as a “techie”, all the same, even design for me cannot compensate for the significant increase in cost of a configuration that is far from being the most powerful.

Acer Swift 3 SF314-51.

A whole range of modifications of a thin 14-inch FullHD (IPS matrix) laptop. Thickness - 18 mm, which eliminated the use of traditional hard drive. Only an M.2 2280 format SSD drive on a SATA 3 bus is used. Weight – 1.5 kg.

Metal case (except for the bottom cover), different configurations with processors from i3 to i7 of the latest generations, only integrated graphics and, in addition, 8 GB of DDR4 RAM, soldered onto motherboard. In general, there is nothing to upgrade, except for the drive.

And for everything – approximately 43,000 rubles. in the i3 7100U version with Linux OS. Other modifications are more expensive.

Acer Aspire S5-371

For i5-7Y54, 8 GB of memory and 256 GB SSD you will have to pay about 80,000 rubles. In my opinion, the main cost goes to the thin body, design, and noiselessness. If you need a spectacular, but not so effective in terms of widespread use, laptop, then you should pay attention to this model, although it has plenty of competitors.

ASUS

Talking about buying easy compact laptop from this manufacturer, the first thing that comes to mind is the very popular family of “Zenbook” models. A large number of modifications, fresh versions with processors latest generation, SSD drive ami and other due “goodies” determine the popularity of the series. Finding the best model shouldn't be difficult.

In general, I’ll say that if you can’t decide what to choose, then take Zenbook, you won’t go wrong.

Compactness in modern world plays a big role as humanity acquires an increasing number of gadgets. To achieve acceptable ergonomics, manufacturers resort to various tricks, reducing dimensions, replacing old materials with lighter ones, and the like. The same fate befell laptops, but there are a couple of nuances regarding them.

There are several ways to reduce the weight of laptops and they are all interconnected:

• Replacing body materials. You can replace metal with plastic, making the laptop lighter, but then the protection and overall strength of the structure will be seriously affected.
• Reduce in size. Less area - less weight. This move leads to frequent reductions in functionality.
• Install “cold” iron and limit yourself to an aluminum bar instead of a full-fledged cooling system. This is typical for ultrabooks, but such models are low-performance.

Thus, any of the above methods entails certain consequences. We have selected for you the top lightest laptops in several categories. Please note that we are comparing models within our own sections, since comparing 13 and 15.6 inch models is incorrect.

The best lightweight laptops with a diagonal of 13-14 inches

Surely you remember netbooks - devices that appeared during the economic crisis of 2008. These devices were cheap, but because of this they were weak and compact. Moreover, the small dimensions were due precisely to the desire to save on materials. By now, these little misunderstandings have become much more powerful, and have also grown in price, but they have only become lighter and smaller.

Such devices with a display diagonal of 13-14 inches are perfect for people who often travel on business, because they can take a little more other useful things and still remain with their usual work environment in the form of a laptop. Lightweight devices are also useful for students: lectures are convenient to write and read, and there is plenty of space in your bag. But what exactly should you choose? Our rating will help you decide.

4 Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air 12.5

The most compact and lightest - only 1.07 kg
Country: China

Rating (2019): 4.7

What the familiar company Xiaomi doesn’t produce. They also have a laptop in their range, the designers of which were clearly inspired by Apple laptops. The case is minimalistic, metal. Feels great in your hands. The display here is small, only 12.5 inches (the older model has a 13.3" display) with FullHD resolution. Due to this, the body is record thin - 12.9 mm - and light - 1.07 kg. The internals are also of interest:

• Mobile Intel processors Core m3 in some modifications. They are enough for working with documents and surfing the Internet, but not for games. But time battery life even under load for at least 5 hours and passive (silent!) cooling. If you need more power, consider the Core i5 model
• Fast SSD drive 128 or 256 GB. If this turns out to be not enough, you can install another SSD or HDD yourself - the corresponding connector is available
• Nice backlit keyboard and equally comfortable touchpad
• Supported fast charging: In half an hour, 50% of the battery charge will be replenished.

3 Lenovo IdeaPad 320s 13

Excellent value for money and quality
Country: China
Average price: 34505 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7

Next we have an excellent Lenovo laptop, the popularity of which is probably due to its fairly reasonable price tag. But you have to pay for the low cost with simpler body materials - only the lid is made of aluminum, the working surface is plastic. The thickness is quite large - 16.9 mm, but the weight is only 1.2 kg - one of the best indicators in the class. It’s worth noting right away that the keyboard has a slight flex, which is not very pleasant. We note the presence of all the necessary ports: there are a couple of full-size USB (one of which is 3.0), USB Type-C, HDMI, a card reader - in general, a complete set for full-fledged work. Other features include:

• Wide selection of components: a budget Intel Core i3-7100U with integrated graphics, or a combination of a powerful Core i7-8550U with discrete graphics can be installed inside Nvidia video card GeForce MX File storage is based on SSD with a capacity of 128 or 256 GB
• 13.3 inch display with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, made using TFT IPS technology in all (!) trim levels

Remember the trends that creators follow? modern smartphones- glass everywhere. The developers of ZenBook 13 were also carried away by them. The lid is made of glass, behind which the signature concentric pattern is hidden. Glass is also used to cover the touchpad, due to which the finger glides over it perfectly. All other elements are made of aluminum, and therefore there can be no complaints about the strength and build quality. The set of ports is similar to Lenovo. This model has more than enough chips:

• Record low weight for a 13.3-inch laptop with such high performance - only 1.12 kg;
• ...GeForce MX150;
• Fast SSD with a capacity of up to 512 GB;
• 13.3 inch IPS screen with FullHD or UltraHD resolution with support for touch input (!) and very thin frames around;
• Up to 10 hours of battery life in energy saving mode;
• Availability of a fingerprint scanner.

1 HP ProBook 430 G5

More than 60 modifications
Country: USA
Average price: 51197 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8

Optimal laptop with a weight of 1.5 kg. - not a record, but just right for a workstation. Options with HDD and SSD are available, and if you choose a package with the second type of drive, the laptop will be somewhat lighter. Undemanding buyers are offered a model with a resolution of 1366x768, and lovers of high-quality images are offered full HD. Both there and there will be an IPS matrix. The drives are accessed by removing a couple of screws, making upgrades potentially possible. The most “charged” version carries an i7-8550U and an HD 620, but there are also more modest i3-7100U with an HD 610.

Two RAM slots provide room for modification and installation of up to 32 GB of working buffer. The battery lasts a long time, in game mode it lasts at least 4 hours. To make its device as light as possible, the manufacturer used plastic everywhere. The controls are responsive and the laptop can be recommended as a coding station.

The best lightweight 15-inch laptops

15-inch laptops are much more versatile devices. With these you can go on a business trip, work relatively comfortably in the office without connecting an external monitor, and relax at home while watching a movie. A larger case is enough not only for a weak processor with a built-in video chip, but also for a fairly powerful system with a discrete video card and relatively good cooling. Those. There is more convenience and power, and the weight is only 400 grams higher on average compared to 13.3’ models. But which laptop with a 15’ display should I buy? See our rating.

So that you understand, for the same amount that you will spend on any laptop described below, you can purchase 3 or even 4 Lenovo V310 15 in the most basic configuration. At the same time, the device is just as light (1.85 kg) and, in some modifications, is quite capable of competing with more expensive rivals in terms of power. The rest of the options look like this:

• A very practical case. Yes, it is not very attractive, but it is durable
• DVD drive! It’s unlikely that anyone uses it in 2017, but it exists!
• Combined disk system – HDD+SSD with a total capacity of up to 1128GB (competitors only have up to 512GB)
• Full set of necessary ports: 3 USB, VGA, HDMI, RJ-45

2 Apple MacBook Pro 15 with Retina display Mid 2017

Signature American Quality
A country: USA (manufactured in China)
Average price: RUB 158,450.
Rating (2019): 4.5

Expensive and lightweight apple MacBook Pro 15 weighing 1.83 kg. The screen is one of the best in its class with a high resolution and 500 nits of brightness. The contrast ratio doesn’t let us down either, its indicators are 1500 to 1. RGB backlighting is built into the keyboard and takes up minimal space. Brightness and anti-reflective coating have a positive effect on working in bright light. Contrast also adapts the laptop to work at night. The sound is the best among laptops - Apple's calling card.

There is also a universal port to which you can connect anything. It itself is connected to the PCI-E bus. A special feature of the laptop is that you can connect 4 monitors to it at once and turn it into workstation. The design is minimalist, the air intake comes from an angle and from the grille, it is extremely difficult to block the air flow. In terms of memory, everything is fine here too - 16 GB of RAM (cannot be increased), the ability to choose a hard drive up to 2 TB and two atypical video cards from AMD - Pro 555 and 560.

1 ASUS VivoBook S15 S510UN

The best combination of price and quality
Country: China
Average price: 42,400 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8

VivoBook from Asus belongs to the budget line of laptops. This is noticeable in the design of the device and the combination of pleasant aluminum with practical plastic. The laptop is not too thin - 17.9 mm - but very light for its size, only 1.5 kg. In general, it’s difficult to call the leader of the rating outstanding - it’s just a well-tailored working machine with good functionality at a reasonable cost. Among the features we note:

• FullHD IPS matrix in all modifications
• Sufficient performance: if you want to save money, take the version with Core i3; you need huge power - the model with Core i7-8250U will suit you
• RAM 6 or 8 GB, but there is a free slot, using which you can expand the volume up to 16 GB
• From 256 to 1256 GB of internal storage (HDD, SSD, SSD+HDD)
• Optional keyboard backlight and fingerprint scanner
• As an OS, you can choose not only the usual Windows 10 Home/Pro, but also EndlessOS based on Linux.

The Best Lightweight Gaming Laptops

The phrase “gaming laptop” almost certainly brings to mind an image of an incredibly large, heavy and noisy laptop. But this idea was true a few years ago, while modern representatives of this class are light and thin enough to be constantly with their owner. This became possible thanks to the creation of energy-efficient, compact, but at the same time high-performance video cards and central processing units. We have selected for you the top three most powerful and thin gaming laptops.

3 Acer Predator Triton 700

The most powerful lightweight gaming laptop
Country: China
Average price: 157950 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7

The rating opens with a laptop with a very unusual design. The first thing that catches your eye is the keyboard, which is shifted downwards. This arrangement is more convenient during games. It is worth noting that the keyboard is mechanical (!). But why did the gap remain membrane-like? Above it is translucent glass, behind which you can see a pair of proprietary turbines designed to cool top-end hardware. The touchpad is located there, but you are unlikely to want to use it for work or games - it is inconvenient. Even the manufacturer understands this and includes a gaming mouse in the package. A body weighing 2.4 kg is not a record. But the thickness pleases - 18.9 mm. What other features?

• The most powerful hardware: Intel Core i7-7700HQ and GeForce GTX 1080. The latter, of course, is reduced in frequency compared to the desktop solution, but it is also enough for comfortable gaming at maximum graphics settings.
• FullHD matrix is ​​made using IPS technology. Refresh rate - 120 Hz.
• Fully customizable lighting

2 ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501VS

Unusual design. Excellent performance
Country: China
Average price: 148,400 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7

At first glance, the laptop from Asus's gaming division is very similar to the previous participant. But the only similarity is the layout of the keyboard. Unfortunately, it is not mechanical, but in general there are no complaints about the quality. The touchpad is located more conveniently, to the right of the keyboard. Using it on a regular basis is unlikely to be pleasant, but in the absence of a mouse you won’t have to tear your hair out in anger. In addition, with the press of one button you can turn it into a NumPad. The laptop is very thin - only 17.9 mm - but only when closed, because when you open the lid, the bottom... moves down a little, providing a better flow of fresh air to cool the powerful filling.

• Inside is the already familiar Core i7-7700HQ and GeForce 1070. This assembly is enough for all modern games at ultra graphics settings. Temperatures and noise levels are at an acceptable level.
• The screen is similar to that of the previous participant, but there is support for Gsync, which is good news.
• Storage is based on SSD with a capacity of 256-1024 GB

1 MSI GS63 7RD Stealth

The best combination of price and characteristics. The easiest
Country: China
Average price: 91945 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8

One of the lightest gaming laptops in the world. Weight 1.8 kg. The system is based Core processor i 7-7700 HQ . Discrete graphics card NVidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti It has 4 GB of video memory and a 128-bit bus. This is an entry-level gaming card that works well in online games, but is rather weak for top projects. The model is suitable for competitive disciplines thanks to a monitor with a refresh rate of 120 Hertz. The information carrier is very fast SSD NVMe , you can replace it and add RAM yourself, which is 8 GB.

Now about connected peripherals and other devices. In total, we counted 12 ports, 3 of which are USB 3.0. This means that an additional keyboard, mouse and other useful gadgets can be connected without problems.

The best lightweight ultrabooks

Ultrabooks are the lightest of laptops. Everything about them is aimed at maximum comfort: low weight due to weak components, a passive cooling system, etc.

5 ASUS ZenBook 15 UX533FD

Miniature power supply
Country: China
Average price: RUB 115,628.
Rating (2019): 4.7

The “heaviest” representative of our top in this category and weighs from 1.59 kg. The 15-inch screen has received extremely thin frames, making it similar in size to 14-inch models. Even without this, a lot of weight was saved due to the miniature power supply. The weight of the model is due to the all-metal body, only the bottom is made of metallized plastic. It protects from impact, but not from fingerprints. The keyboard is pleasant, with good key travel. The IR login camera works flawlessly.

Now about the screen. Despite all its advantages, there are large glares on the sides. There are very few USB ports, there are only two. The number pad is located next to the main keyboard, which is why buyers often end up with “+” instead of Backspace.

4 Acer SWIFT 7 (SF714-51T)

Best matrix mount
Country: China
Average price: 124820 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8

Slim body with endless possibilities. Excellent performance in all tasks is due to good hardware, not intended for games, but suitable for work. 8 GB of RAM is enough for everything except streaming and editing. Now more about the hardware. A processor with only two cores, but increased overclocking from 1.3 GHz to 3.6.

To compensate for the weak base, the manufacturer preinstalled an SSD with 256 GB of memory. HDD is not provided for installation, as well as purchase external storage. There are no USB 2.0 or 3.0 ports, but there are two USB Type-C ports. Weight among ultrabooks is estimated as average – 1.2 kg. The 4580 mAh battery holds a charge for up to 10 hours.

3 ASUS ZenBook 14 UX433

High quality build
Country: China
Average price: 58890 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8

Again ASUS, but already weighing 1.19 kg. The touchpad here does not wobble, the screws on the bottom do not unscrew by themselves, like the previous generation. It lies on the table and looks monolithic. For an ultrabook, the output sound is more than decent. At a volume of 80%, the speakers are sufficient with a large margin. An IR camera for Windows Hello will allow your computer to recognize you by your face. This technology eliminates the need to enter a password every time you log in.

As a minus, the first thing we note is the glossy screen. The camera is very small, only 0.3 megapixels. Not enough in 2019. The Micro SD slot also looks shoddy. USB 2.0 format looks like an anachronism in 2019. Interesting thing: you can run two virtual machines. The power supply leaves much to be desired.

2 Lenovo ThinkPad X280

Buyers' choice
Country: China
Average price: 93041 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9

Only 0.04 grams heavier than the top leader, a product from Lenovo. It is the X-series that is considered to have low weight as its main feature. This weight allows you to move it anywhere and all the time. There was no more memory left from the expansion slots, and this was the price for making the design lighter. The screen is considered quite good for a work machine. In terms of controls: the touchpad is responsive, the buttons have a small stroke and are soft.

The charge is replenished by USB cable Type-C. There are only 2 processors – i5-8250U and i7-8550U. There are only 4 cores here, but they are honest. Relatively cold throughout the entire working process, the fan is barely audible. About the disadvantages: the 15 W heat package is artificially reduced due to a weak cooling system. This model is not suitable for games at all, but only for work and business meetings. The video card in all modifications is the same - HD 620 and its improved version UHD 620 with a frequency of 100 MHz higher.

1 ASUS ZenBook 13 UX333FN-A3142T

Best ultrabook by weight
Country: China
Average price: 80230 rub.
Rating (2019): 5.0

The lightest ultrabook weighing 1.09 kg. Ideal for creativity, relaxation and active work, but not games due to the MX150 video card. This 13-inch model is more compact than its competitors with a similar screen diagonal. The display is almost frameless, made using NanoEdge technology. Powerful hinges provide comfortable monitor angles and reliable mounting. All this splendor is complemented by pre-installed Windows 10 in the home version.

All kinds of work operations will be carried out efficiently and quickly thanks to powerful processor Intel Core i7 8565U with dynamic overclocking up to 4.6 GHz. However, we do not recommend overloading it, otherwise throttling is guaranteed. 8 GB of RAM is enough for literally everything. A comfortable Full HD screen with a matrix with a 178-degree view makes it possible to watch movies with a small group of 3-4 people.
