I considered many different options and foldable wasn't my first choice either. Initially I waited for Blackberry Key3, when they decided to stop making them to my disappointment. Foldable was my next choice because I really don't want to have a separate device. For a while I lugged my X1 Carbon with me, which is fairly light laptop but when you add charger and the rest of the gear it's not much lighter than any other machine.
