    There's not much you can do to the reduce weight of any notebook.

    The things that come to mind is replace your hard drive with a SSD drive (SSDs tend to be a bit lighter) and to use the 3-cell battery instead of the 6-cell.

    You can also remove the CD/DVD drive. I haven't used mine at all for the last 6 months...

    Drill holes into the casing?

    ramgen: Do you use anything to cover the CD drive slot once you take it out?

    Well, I have never taken out my CD drive. :) But if you do, you don't have to cover it. Just leave it open...
