Does this laptop actually weigh 10.6 lb? ... that's over double what the Dell website lists the Inspiron 15 R at.

It is heavier than my wife's Inspiron, however, I like my XPS so much more.

if gerry, weighs heavily on the housing material is aluminum, but the performance is much better than the Inspiron 15R.

It weighs about 7.5 pounds however, for the computing power and bright screen it is worth whatever difference between this and other computers. I'm a graduate student working on a PhD and I love mine. Gary Hill, MBS

The Zenbook weighs 3.2lbs. I'm not sure where they got the 7.8 number from.

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.

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

I think that is the shipping weight. Actual weight is about 4.5 lbs. Lightest computer I have ever owned...it has been a wonderful laptop so far.

I notice the shipping weight is 6.8 -- maybe that explains the discrepancy between the listed and actual (3.45) laptop weight.

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.

I am not sure of the exact weight, but I would guess in the 4-5lb range. It is as lite as any other PC laptop that I have seen.Hope this helps

No. Inside of the outer black box it has another brand box for new XPS laptop. That is why it weight 10 pounds. Itself it weight around 6 pounfs.

A original packed laptop. It is super light and around 3 pounds. Do not worry about the number on the site.

computer is just under 3 pounds. I think it's the shipping weight that is 12. I like the battery life a lot, trackpad is a bit twitchy & the power button is where I'm used to delete button so I've had to learn to be careful.

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.

It is 5.3 pounds. The extra weight might include packaging and the charger and all that but the laptop itself is 5.3 pounds.

lol i dont have a scale to put it on to tell you exactly, the surface of the lid and around the around the keyboard is aluminum which is heaver than plastic so i would consider that added weight to be a plus sense aluminum is stronger than plastic it gives it a premium feel. you can get this same laptop with a 15 inch screen and im sure it will be a little lighter. it seems to me like it would be inconvenient to take with you to work or school as its quite large. i just use it at home and i dont travel with.
