    Eh, I'll trade weight for performance any day of the week. I understand that it's heavy but thats why it's called a desktop replacement. For me it will mainly be on my desk. Only time I will move it is when I go to school for my Design classes where I'll need it. Which is only twice a week so I should be fine.

    I agree, I travel twice a month(and it's an all day event), but I'd rather have the performance. I don't think it could me much heavier than my X205. Keeps you in shape...

    lol yea...Does anyone know of a great backpack for this beast? I've been looking at Booq (I put the link in a earlier post), but I wanted to see what anyone else is using.

    This is the one I have for my X205, and has room to spare, I'm sure it will work for my 9261. It is not as solid a design as the one from Booq, but alot less $$.

    IMHO thats very odd having 2 current desktop replacment systems. I think the X205-S9359 would be on the shelf collecting dust or I would try to sell it.

    You are correct. The Sager hasn't arrived yet, but I'm think I'm keeping the X205 for home, and travelling with the Sager. I'd rather have a desktop, but doesn't work for me right now. The X205 audio is damn good, not sure I can part with it.

    Well, I should be getting mine within the next 2 weeks. My bank puts a limit on how much i can charge on my debit card per day, so the good folks at Xotic are taking it out $1000 a day. So in about 2 weeks I say because of building, testing, and painting. :) But I can't wait at all lol. I'm looking for a good bluetooth mouse thats comfortable on the hand because I do a lot of work on the computer that requires a mouse.

    Cool. Ordered mine from them also, but didn't have time to send a check, so did credit instead. I looked at this model first, but didn't want to spend the money at first, but now that I've tried a bunch of different laptops, I know this is the only one that will do!
    Read up on bluetooth mice before you buy.. I've heard that they are not very responsive in games, but I'm not sure, I always use a usb mouse.
