The thin and light notebook is a creature of sacrifice. It’s a reminder that freedom of movement means leaving things behind. It’s packing a single knapsack for a week-long trip, leaving your home unencumbered, but entirely aware that some of the things you might want – or even occasionally need – won’t be coming with you.

As technology advances, such sacrifices grow less common. Battery for one thing. Power for another. Thin and light laptops grow more capable as the years go by, and our expectation of what such machines can and should do grows along with them.
