The World`s lightest laptop is the Lenovo's 13-inch LaVie Z lighter than the MacBook

Lenovo says the 13 inch LaVie Z laptop weights 1.87 pounds and it is so light because of its magnesium-lithium alloy body. The new MacBook weights 2.03 pounds.

LaVie Z has two USB 3.0 ports, one HDMI out port,  SD Card reader, a 2.40 GHz 5th Gen Intel Core i7 processor. The new MacBook has a Intel Core M.

The LaVie Z also comes in two models, the more expensive of which has a touchscreen and a versatile hinge so the laptop can fold backward in half to create a tabletlike device.

Apple wins on pixel density (226 pixels per inch compared with 220), but both Lenovo models have a 13.3-inch screen compared with the MacBook's 12-inches. 

The LaVie Z is currently shipping for $1,500 or $1,700 depending on which model you get, compared with the MacBook, which is priced at $1,300 or $1,600. (The higher-end model has a faster processor and more hard drive storage.)
