I don't understand the WHOLE 1.5lb complaining.. Since when are men(and ladies) such wimps. If you want a strong machine, be a bit stronger yourself.

- gks 14y agoTo be honest here. I carried a 5.5lbs PowerBook G4 around to college for a couple years. I hated it. I'm not a big guy by any stretch of the imagination (5'7", 120lbs) but as soon as I added books, paper, folders of hand outs and homework to the list of things I was carrying.. I really wanted the laptop to be lighter. My last year of college was spent carrying a 2010 Air around with me instead of the PowerBook and it was a signficiant difference in weight. You just have to realize that a laptop isn't the only thing people carry around. So 4.6lbs isn't a big deal, but when you add it all up then the number starts to increase. Extra savings is beneficial.
- r00fus 14y agoTry holding one up to read at night while lying down. Or try taking pictures/movie on the device for extended periods. 1.5 lbs is a lot for one arm to keep held in place all the time. The tablet form factor makes it inviting, but the weight makes you feel it.
