As for battery life--I've gone from a 12:20-2:15 lab to a short break (for the laptop at least--psychology lab) to the Horseshoe and its wireless internet to a biology lecture on one charge. If it can do that, it's good enough for me.

You're right. It is beefy, all 8.1 lbs of it. 5 lbs would be a rather light laptop. Mine's 6.5 lbs and even that's pretty light.
A heavy laptop can be a huge deal if you plan on lugging it around very much at all.
