How much does your laptop weigh?

Hey guys...

Just out of interest:

How much does your laptop weigh?

What is an opitium weight for a laptop that would be used around and about uni?

Can a so-called 'desktop-replacement' laptop be used to travel?

Does a laptop that weigh's: 3.2658651 kgs, 7.2 lbs... weigh to much?

Thanks

Jason

You will find a lot of laptops can weigh in the 3-4kg region - most power laptops anyway.

Mine is 3.4kg fully laiden (becareful about company quoting without battery, that's a trick some use!). Mine is fine for carrying around in small amounts and to and from uni, I wouldn't want to constantly have it with me though! lol

If you intend to do that, I would go for a centrino based system which is more portable (also you will get more than 2 hours battery life).

Upon lifting it up, I have deemed it to weight 2.6kg...

I am mightily impressed at the accuracy of your measuring of mass ability.

3.2kg won't kill you but it's not the most portable, I bet you find you don't carry it around much anyway!

Centrino doesn't mean lighter. But because centrino is wireless, it is expected that it would be carried more. So manufacturers make lighter laptops and they almost always have centrino technology.
