Oh they have gotten a lot better. When I was in college years ago I had a
Toshiba that must have weighed 15 pounds and had multiple batteries so I really
shouldn’t complain.
I have a fully loaded MacBook Pro 15 inch which as I said is great power wise
but a little heavy and definitely heats up. I also added an “In Case” hard
shell which adds a little weight but makes things much more solid and prevents
the metal from being scratched.
The 13 inch MacBook pro is the optimal size and weight. If only it had
a bit more power but that’s the trade off I guess.
