I’m comparing the two laptops the person mention in the article, the M1 MacBook Air and the ThinkPad T480
And I am saying the author obviously does not care, but if you do care then the macs are the heavier ones or same (e.g. t480s weighs as much as the air despite being 14 inch). Rule of thumb: non-apple weighs about 70% of apple, e.g. X1 Nano vs air or X1 vs pro.
