    Are these notebooks near equal in weight? The spec say the G50 is lighter by maybe a pound. Anyone have both to compare weight?

    im pretty sure the g50s is around 6.2 or 6.5 because my g50vt-x5 feels alot lighter than my dell 9300 17in at 7.8lbs

    also alot of sites says its at 6.2lbs.

    i have to put it on my weight scale to make sure :)
