    It's not a light machine but I watched Lord of the Rings with it on my lap doing some web browsing and MSN and I didn't feel uncomfortable from the heat or weight.

    It's exactly 3.2kg with the battery and they are indeed very easy to carry around. Not as light as a Mac Book Air but then it's about 10 times more powerful :)

    This machine for the power it packs, is light. Very light.
