    Ok, I am lookingat getting a M1530 and had a question about the weight. I have an old Dell Latitude C600 14" widescreen that it weighed in at about 6.25 pounds. I dont know how many cells the battery has, got the whole set up free. The weight of the M1530 is just around the same weight with a 9 cell battery. I know they are the same weight but does the M1530 "feel" lighter because it is spread over more area, not as much densed up into a small thick form factor. Thanks for the help.

    5 lbs feels like 5 lbs to me. Whether it is large or small...
