A simile compares two different items to highlight a shared characteristic. When using an adjective, the quality sits between two instances of as, such as as light as a feather. When comparing how an action happens, the verb connects directly to like followed by a noun, such as slept like a log. Both patterns create a clear mental image without claiming that the two items are literally identical.
The new office laptop is as light as a feather, making my commute much easier.
