5lbs!!! Beefy!!! HAHA!!! ROFL!! I think my keypad alone weighs more than 5lbs!!
Sorry!
If you have a deffinate use for it, don't go for anything but the laptop. I am not in one city/town for more than 4 days. Between Dallas, Towanda, Nashua, Concord, Washington, D.C., State College, and more ....... I am always on the go. Yes, I opted for BIG and BEEFY, after easily frying my little HP ze4100 mobo with rendering, drafting, and databasing there was no way I was taking a chance of loosing another sysem after only a year. My zd7000 weighs in at well over 9lbs, and I wouldn't give up an ounce of it to loose my P4, 1 GB RAM, Internal Wireless, DVD/RW, Harman/Kardon Speakers, 17" WXGA+, or 128mb Nvidia GeForce FX Go5600.
Must say my expansion base doesn't make things too bad either with its RCA jacks, and wireless mouse and keyboard. Putting the laptop screen at "proper viewing height".
