An 11.6-inch laptop has a few distinct advantages, one of them being the compact nature of the device. It’s very light at just 1.1kg so you’ll hardly feel it in your backpack or a handbag. It’s also quite slim when closed, which we really like. The Lapbook is built entirely of plastic but despite that, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the lid has very little flex and the hinge has good torsion so it doesn’t flap about too much in use.
