Even the MBA is far from the lightest laptop with similar size display. I guess it might come down to an assumption that an iPad will be used much more often handheld. Laptops, after all, are not really designed to do that. And that's where weight matters the most.
Oh yeah, I was gonna say it looks like no luck for a more rigid chassis.
Strange, since Apple's laptops remain highly rigid designs that they've decided that iPPs be made so fragile.
