HP unveiled its lightest consumer laptop yet, the HP Pavilion Aero 13 Laptop PC. Starting at less than 2.2 pounds, the consumer laptop targets those who want to connect, be productive, and be entertained, and it has what HP calls a sustainable design.

It also uses a processor from Advanced Micro Devices that uses the Zen 3 cores. The lightweight aspect could be useful for people who are just starting to roam away from home in the wake of the worst part of the pandemic.
