A laptop’s weight drops with the replacement of a regular hard drive with faster, smaller, lighter SSD storage. SSD has microchip-based Flash memory and an embedded microprocessor that processes and controls functions. It is more power efficient, too. Blu-ray is an optical disc format designed to display high definition video and store large amounts of data. RAM (Random Access Memory) is computer’s main memory in the form of computer chips — integrated circuits — that are either soldered directly onto the main logic board of your computer, or installed in memory modules that go in sockets on your computer’s logic board. Faster RAM doesn’t affect the weight of the laptop.
