Thank you for your response. 2lb is not a lot, but there also a lot of stuff I need to carry around when I travel, so I need to pack as much stuff as possible into limited space and weight which airlines would consider as a hand luggage. There are reasons I need apple stuff. I often need to test and publish iOS apps, so there is no option for linux / windows machines, although I have regular acer linux laptop for torrenting, automation and so on. Also I'm planning to learn developing for vision pro, so thats also requires mac machine. As of as much apple stuff as possible, I seek the opposite, as less apple stuff as possible, and also as less as possible heavy stuff overall, I move a lot, so I'd like to have just a laptop, instead of several laptops and pc's, so I definitely won't buy a mac, and having 20kg pc with rtx 4090 would be a problem, because I would need to transfer this machine when I move. I need computational power for game dev, ML, and for running monstrous enterprize projects, eg with 500gb database. In the end I think I'll give up and'll have to carry around MBP 14, if it is not possible to use MBA as a screen for macmini
