I do not really feel the weight.. However, i so not carry it to too many places.. If you get a computer bag, you will be fine

It is on the heavier side for a laptop but most of the laptops we looked at that would be good for my son's gaming did weigh a fair amount.

It's windows based, just like a computer. It's also 5 time as heavy as a laptop.

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.

The keyboard weight is next to nothing around 0.38 lbs. You do need to remember it is small but if you have a need to use the keyboard for emails or modifying Docs it does come in handy and it works very well. I use it when I am out and about for IT Work so I don't have to drag my laptop all over.

It's a 3rd generation processor.It's actually 2.86 pound in weight. so it's quite light. website says 7.6 pound but it might be considering the whole laptop box with accessories included. The laptop in itself is not that heavy.

yes, it is heavy, seems to me that it would be an overkill for the university student either due to high price and/or high end computer specification. Although, I am (unfortunately) not university student anymore I enjoy the Qosmio X75-A7180 very much and do not regret the purchase.

This laptop is not that heavy (still heavy, but how heavy do you expect a 14.0" HD Display screen laptop would be :-D) This laptop's setting is awesome and I actually can plug in my headphone after pushing it harder XD wish you will like it.

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.

Yes, I have use the laptop on mine before. The laptop I used was approximately 4 to 5 pounds. Just make sure the tray is firmly supported before you place your laptop on it. This is a great product, I'm sure you'll be very happy with it.

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

I really don't know. It is a thin computer and not as heavy as a small one I had. I really like it. It is an extra PC for me as I have a desk top that I use most of the tim. Like to play games on the laptop.

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

The bag is fairly heavy. I have not put it on a scale but it is definitely heavier than a pound. The bag is very tough, padded and overbuilt. 9lbs with a shipping box sounds correct.

It is heavy for a laptop but I really love it. You wont get anything close to the power it has anywhere near its price. You will also have to get a larger bag to carry it in. I tried a standard 14 inch laptop bag and it was a tight squeeze without anything else in the bag like a charger a mouse and a paper notebook will not fit. I bought a messenger bag for mine. I would have loved to have gotten an Alienware bag or carrying case but they are over priced in my opinion.
