http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraportable
This is the definition of an Ultraportable laptop. Lately, I've seen manufacturers name all their 12" laptops an "ultraportable", when it is in no way portable with its hefty weight, eg. more than 2kg. I believe the term should be reserved for any laptop smaller or equal to 13.3" and most importantly the laptop must weigh 1.5kg or less.
Carry a 2kg laptop with documents, a foldable umbrella and a water bottle, and you'll know how heavy it is. Taking out that 500g of weight will save your shoulder and bag from pain if you have to move around a lot. When I am getting a 12" laptop, the first thing in my mind would be the weight. Why get a 12" laptop that weighs as much as a 14"? If I have to tolerate that 1.9kg, I might as well have a bigger screen, at least that much is justified. Anyway, it just doesn't sound right when a 12" weighing 2.1kg is in the same "ultraportable" range as a 12" laptop weighing 1.3kg.
