    Haven't seen much discussion of them on here -- does anybody else have one yet?

    Also, I think the review listed the weight as 7.7 pounds but Lenovo is claiming 6.11-6.35lbs. Does the 7.7 include the AC adapter?

    You are going to be able to look at them soon at OfficeDepot. I haven't seen any yet, but I am guessing it does include the adapter.

    Personally I like the black. Elegent and simple. You are going to get it with a silver Titanium lid.

    btw, I put my Z60m on the scales to get the weight, so it is "real world" and not the manufacturer stated where I swear they remove the battery and all internal components sometimes to get the weight they quote. I was actually being generous with the 7.7lb quote, it was more like 7.75lb.

    I had to dig out my suitcase the other day for a business trip. I haven't used that particular suitcase in a couple of years. Inside was an old PC Mag. I took it with me on my trip. I was just flipping through it and found a Dell ad with an old friend of mine.... an Inspirion 8200. I loved mine even though it was more flexible than a gymnast and weighed about as much. I've become so accustomed to 4-5 pound / 1 inch thick notebooks (about have the weight and size of the i8200). It's amazing how far we've come in a short amount of time.
