This laptop weighs only 2.3 pounds in its entirety, meaning it is a competitor to weight-focused products such as the '[Macbook Air](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macbook)' and the 'LG Gram,' which are both incredibly light. The Portégé X40L-K, though, boasts a durable body and high-performance components, despite its compact shell. The laptop contains a 12th-generation Intel processor, up to 32GB RAM, and a comprehensive I/O panel. The I/O panel means that numerous devices can be connected to it at one time through USB, USB-C, and Thunderbolt 4. The laptop has a relatively long-lasting battery at 65Wh, so it can last long enough for on-the-go commutes. This laptop is excellent for traveling workers who do not want to add more weight to their everyday-carry setup. At a price point of $1,799.99 USD, this laptop fits into the premium, business-focused laptop market.
