Switching from a 2.5kg gaming laptop to something lighter for travel - recommendations?

My current gaming laptop is great at my desk but a pain to carry around campus all day. Thinking about picking up something thin and light as a second device for classes and leaving the gaming laptop at home. Anyone done a similar split setup?

Did exactly this, kept the gaming laptop at home and picked up something sub-1.5kg for class. Works well as long as you don't need the lightweight one to do anything demanding.
