Thin, light and easy to carry — small laptops and ultraportables built for travel, commuting and study. Lightweight laptops from Dell, HP, Lenovo and Apple, many under 1.4kg, fully tested, with an SSD, Windows 11 and a 12-month warranty.
A lightweight laptop — also called a small laptop, thin laptop or ultraportable — is built to go everywhere with you. Most weigh well under 1.4kg, slip into any bag, and pair a slimline design with all-day battery, so they’re ideal for commuting, travel, university and hot-desking. The best small laptops come from the premium business and consumer ranges — the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, Dell XPS and Latitude, HP EliteBook and Apple MacBook Air — genuine, light, well-built machines. Whether you want the lightest laptop you can find or a thin, light all-rounder, every one is 20-point tested, runs Windows 11 (or macOS) with an SSD, and is backed by a 12-month warranty.

Big enough to work on, small enough to carry — the ideal portable screen size.
20-point inspected with a 12-month warranty as standard.
