10 impossibly small Japanese laptops under 1Kg that you will probably never be able to buy (unless you fly there)

Although ultra-light laptops exist everywhere, and while most manufacturers see around 1.2kg as light enough, Japanese PC makers have spent years shaving off every possible gram even going so far as to redesign the chassis, battery, and internal layout from scratch.

For this feature, I’ve rounded up ten Japanese laptops that all weigh under 1kg. These aren’t proof of concept devices or engineering demos either - they are real Windows laptops with proper keyboards, modern processors, and a wide range of ports that you could buy today.

Yes, some tradeoffs have been made along the way to get to the featherweight svelteness on display, but Japan has mastered the art of balancing form and function.
