    I carry my 10lb Toshiba X205 to school everyday plus a 40lb backpack. And I am a puny 100lb 16 year old kid. I have gotten used to carrying tons of stuff over the years so carrying my 17" notebook around is no problem.

    This thread has a life of it's own? I could no longer ignore? I think it has twice the posts of the "What is the meaning of life" thread that died last year? Watch out TRT!

    QFT...I'm compelled to post here. Hah.

    But seriously, any student who carries high school level or above textbooks should easily be able to heft a 15.4" notebook. If not, you fail at school and clearly don't need the laptop! :rolleyes:

    I think some of my books I use for school are heavier than some 15" notebooks.

    Also,

    A 16 year old kid brings 40 pounds of stuff to school + a laptop?
