The M2 mba doesn’t seem that much bigger than the 11 inch. When I compare my old 11 inch and my m1 they feel of a similar size and weight class, and the m2 is smaller and lighter than the m1.

Dimensions: .11-.68 x 11.8 x 7.56 (0.3 cm-1.7 cm, 30 cm, 19.2 cm)

...and recently announced Fujitsu Lifebook WU-X/G2 (13.3") is 0.634 kg, half the weight.
Macbooks are made of metal, quote sturdy, but not lightweight by any means
Thanks for sharing that Fujitsu. At 634g it looks amazing and it's a proper laptop from a reputable brand with a full size keyboard, not some discount bin Chromebook or low spec pocket PC full of compromises and cramped keyboards.
