Personally I agree. Maybe I'm a relatively big and strong person but weight has very little impact on me. Sure, if I am trying to one-hand it is nice, but that is a pretty rare scenario for me. If the laptop is in a desk or in a bag weight makes a very, very small difference. However every bit of saved volume is appreciated each time I put it into my backpack.

Although for me there are still bigger priorities than size such as I/O, battery, durability and upgradability. But I'll take extra weight over size any day.
