Seriously, compact Macs are far better for doorstops.  More mass for
those windy days, and you don't have to stoop so low to move it.  The
conviniently located top handle likewise made it  very easy to carry to
other doors.

As far as paperweights are concerned, I'll be the first one to admit
that a good dozen sheets, fit quite nicely underneath my //e (between
the rubber feet). However, the //e in this case should not be
technically classified as a "paperweight" per say, more like a paper
shield or cover since the paper is not weighed down in this
configuration.
