    Don't worry about the wife... After carrying the Laptop, err body builder brick around, she'll like the new, buffed new you! I know I loose weight just hauling it out to the car.

    Seriously, we need a thread for accessories, like a good roller case, that makes sense going thru an airport screening, and onto the plane, and thru the aisles. There's allot of fluff sold as Computer bags that aren't going to cut it for packing this unit, with mouse and headphones and cooler and....

    LOL... so true.

    I have been lugging my D900K in my Kensington Contour Backpack for over a year now.... it weighs about 20 pounds with everything in it.

    Its like weight training when I am going to work and school.

    I am mid twenties, and am a student of Martial Arts (Chinese and Japanese) my whole life.

    I am in no way over weight... I wouldnt mind a couple of more pounds (if i didnt metabolize so fast) . :)

    And this weight training really helps out in Aikido (for tossing people) ;)

    P.S. I also am a East Coast Swing/Lindy Hop and Salsa dancer... thats how I got to know my girlfriend of 3+ years :D

    Preferred jujitsu and muay thai over aikido myself.

    You want to put on muscle then just stick with basic compound movements and don't waste your time with the isolationist malarkey. Go with lower reps (2-3x5 for each exercise) and make sure you include some squats or deadlifts in you routine and you'll add a few.

    I think my wife just picked me out of pity.... :D
