The 16-inch Asus Zenbook A16 is very powerful and pretty much unrivaled at 1.2 kg

The Zenbook A16 is a very lightweight 16-inch everyday laptop, which is extremely powerful thanks to the new Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme processor. The OLED screen looks great, only the battery runtime could be better.

so it is around 300 grams lighter than its direct rivals including the slightly smaller Apple Macbook Air 15.

And despite being lighter, the A16 also has a bigger display than the Air (15.3 vs 16). But on the other hand the Air is passively cooled / has no fan and has other advantages. Still, wish the Air was lighter by e.g. 0.44 pounds, it would be a good compromise between passive cooling ability and chassis stability. Tho I wonder if the M's TDP would have to be reduced, if cooling would become an issue in a lighter aluminum chassis or if Apple would have to redesign the cooling.
