    alot, not something you would want to bring with you to school or college every day... but very mover friendly. Easy to take with you to a friends place and play some games. (I do bring it with me to college every day, if you do expect to put on some muscle mass)

    I was pretty surprised by the weight. Specs say 10lbs and some change, but it felt heavier. There's also the matter of the oversized power supply brick you'll need to carry too.

    It's like 6-7kilo's includuing power supply unit, then mouse, then laptop, in a bag. Feel's like 20 when you're travelling. But i've never complained.
