    carrying it around? no. I just put it in a bookbag, latest one is a regular sized blue jansport. It is not really that big, but once in a while i am envious of those with smaller laptops, like my friends with the sonys. I got my laptop a while ago, so no skin for me.

    its pretty easy to carry around, but ihavnt starte school yet so im not sure how it will be in my backpack. Its pretty light when i try it on though. the skin is a sticker, but im not sure of its durability because it hasnt came yet. If you want a dedicated graphics card, get the e1505. If not, go for the e1405, a little smaller and lighter.

    At first it seemed like it was a little heavy. But after a week or two it seems really light. I guess I must have gotten use to it. I usually put mine in my backpack and it is very easy to take around.

    I carry mine around a fair amount and don't find it too heavy at all, especially compared to my old heavier Toshiba Satellite 5205. As for the skin, it's not a sticker to my knowledge, but rather durable vinyl, as used on things like cars, other game systems etc. You can find more non-laptop examples on www.decalgirl.com which have the same easy-to-remove-and-reapply quality.

    I carry mine to uni everyday, no problems whatsoever. I wouldn't be worried about the weight unless you have a physical reason i.e bad back, etc.
