Is there any really lightweight (<7lbs , <200gr) 90W charger, preferably with a USB port? For easier travel, a "figure 8" connector is strongly preferred. A 5.5/2.5 connector on the laptop side works well.

The Dart PSU is currently limited to 65W but may be worth watching in case a 90W version becomes available. Otherwise you have to look through the selection of compatible PSUs. I also prefer the fig-8 connectors because of the thinner and lighter mains cable. One work-around is to use a C5 to C8 adapter.
It may also be useful to get a mains socket power meter and check that you really need a 90W PSU. Quite often the computer manufacturers assume something worse than the worst case for power demand. My current Dell E7450 was shipped with a 90W PSU but will work with the old 45W Latitude XT PSU but gives a warning message about needing to use the battery under certain conditions.

That C5 to C8 adapter should be illegal as it's extremely dangerous. The finsix dart IMO is vaporware while the somewhat similar Zolt http://www.amazon.com/Zolt-Laptop-Charger-Plus-Graphite/dp/B00XBKHUR2 is available.
Lightweight two prong 90W 19V charger?
