1.77kg is pretty reasonable for a 16" laptop btw. Zenbook S16 is 1.5kg. Plastic doesn't equal bad. I overheard a conversation tonight about…

The lack of specifics on the HP site is really annoying.

Big difference between a standard dGPU laptop and an energy efficient 16" screen 1.5kg laptop with OLED. Like a gaming laptop vs Ultrabook.
