    I'm pretty close to getting the 6920 with non-discrete graphics, but I'm wondering exactly how heavy it is. I've seen conflicting reports... some say it's 7.2lbs, some say 7.7lbs...

    For people who own this system, how easy (or hard) is it to carry around?
    It's going to be my main system (which is why I went with a larger 16" system), but I'd really like it to have the ability to be somewhat portable if I need it to be. Other than that it seems that this notebook is perfect for my needs...

    Its no problem carrying it around. I do all the time. Its about 7lbs but still that's not much. But your getting the 6920 with the x3100 video card? Still they will weigh the same. You will have no problem carrying it around.

    That's what I have. Bluetooth isn't built-in even though there's a button for it. It's not bad, I really don't mind its weight. Not a pain o lug around. And it has discrete graphics (512 MB) so if you wanted non-discrete (integrated) this isn't for you.

    OK then you want discrete graphics. The 1 I have (and you're looking at) has The GeForce 9500M GS card with 512 MB dedicated and up to 1,791 GB shared. Plays Crysis nicely on 1280x720 Medium, COD4 nicely 1280x720 on medium, Halo 2 1280x720 with all settings maxed out.
