Does the vegan leather on the HP Elite Folio make it heavy?

Are you worried that the vegan leather cover on the HP Elite Folio makes it heavy? It's actually lighter than real leather, so it should be fine.

We recently reviewed the HP Elite Folio here at XDA and found it to be a great ARM-powered laptop. The Elite Folio is HP's return to using leather on a laptop, but it's a bit different this time. HP had already made the Spectre Folio, and that uses real leather. The Elite Folio, on the other hand, uses vegan leather. We've seen a few laptops show up with unique materials, like Microsoft's Surface Laptop 4 and its Alcantara cover. This brings up some questions about how these materials compare to more traditional devices. In this case, does the vegan leather on the HP Elite Folio make it heavy compared to other laptops of the same size?
