Why does this laptop weigh 10 lbs for a 15.6 in model? Am I missing something?

It might be the packaged box weight. I just stood on my scale with the just the laptop (no power cord) and it weighs in at 5.7 lbs. Personally I do not find this to be heavy at all. I did just give up a 17" Sony laptop and this laptop is lighter. I will say it's not as thin as models I've seen in stores, but, again, I haven't found i7 gen 4/500GB SSD's in the stores either. I just went to CRN - this laptop is considered 10th of 10 coolest laptops - they do confirm the weight is 5.7.

i don't have a scale to weigh it. my guess would be approx. 4-5lbs. at least 4lbs. remember it has a 17in screen, its not your basic laptop, i will tell you it's worth the money for me. hope i answered your question.

No, the mac book air doesn't feel any heavier at all. All of the portals are exposed so you can plug anything into the lap top while the cover is on it.

My daughter has the laptop away at college but I seem to recall we weighed it and it was more like 3.5 lbs, definitely less than 7. Be aware: we waited too long to comment on this purchase but if you have not bought it yet, think twice! She has had a number of problems with this computer--some of which she may be able to rectify by updating drivers, etc.--but overall it has been a disappointment compared to other hp laptops we have owned. Just sayin'...

Hi! The laptop was a gift so I dont know the exact weight and I dont have it with me but let me tell you that it was extremely light. I fell in love with it!

I have not really noticed the difference between it and my old smaller laptop when carrying it around. I have one of those padded laptop bags for it and it is much lighter than my pack full of books for school most days.

I don't know how much it actually weighs, but it is very light. I've had many backpacks and this one is by far the lightest. It is surprisingly roomy for it's size. It can easily swallow my 15in laptop, a notebook, my lunchbox, fruit and a 500 page novel with room to spare. There are inner compartments to keep things nice and tidy. Everything seems very sturdy - I have had it over a year without any problems. I plan on buying another one for whenever this one falls apart. But based on its current track record, I think it is going to be a long time. The only thing it is lacking is an external bottle pouch ... though that may take away from it's slim profile.

They keyboard is very light...but I'm not sure if that's what you're asking. The computer itself is actually quite heavy by today's standards, but I have an toshiba portege, so I'm spoiled.

I think you were looking at the "shipping weight". The Laptop itself is incredibly light, and tho' I have not weighed it to test the validity, I believe the 3.2Lbs is proper.

C'mon, don't be lazy. You can find the weight in Lenovo webpage. I think it was around 3-4 pounds. In practice it feels heavy compared to other ultra books. It feels solid too.

The 5.3 pounds listed in the Amazon item description is the item's shipping weight. The actual weight of the laptop is 3.9 as the official website states.

Not terribly heavy. Probably weighs as much as my 15" laptop. Hope this helps.

There is no noticeable weight added. I've tried holding the laptop at various angles and the screen never moved from it's original position. The perforated surface also gives your hands more to grip.

I haven't tried a 15" laptop. I have a seperate over the shoulder bag I use for the laptop. However, I do use this for short duration trips on airlines. I've never had an issue with its size, as a carry on. However, I do try to mask it in that I put the shoulder strap on and carry it over my shoulder rather than by the two handles at my side. The airlines hardly look at it and certainly don't weigh it! The different compartments or pockets make it very easy for me to arrange and pack items of clothing, shoes, and the 1 quart bag of 3 oz. items.

I believe 15 lbs is the limit. I use it with a laptop and my hands on it don't present a problem...there is a spring that can be tightened to adjust the resistance of it moving down.

I don't have a scale small enough, but no, it is not 4 pounds. It is very light. Well less than half of my Dell XPS14 laptop.

The 5.3 lbs would be more accurate than 8. This laptop is not that heavy at all and definitely not 8lbs!
