    Doubt the M4400 weighs much heavier. The only difference I can foresee is a few grams more for a bigger/better CPU/GPU cooler. Maybe 2.77KG? lol

    they're pretty much the same weight.

    the only advantage i can think of that the e6500 has over the m4400 is it has longer battery life due to the lower powered graphics chip

    Also forgot, in linux, the middle button pastes whatever has been last selected.

    I use my middle button more than the right one :)

    i see that you went with the precision. I'm about to make the same decision. Any regrets? I'll do quite a bit of photo editing but otherwise normal use.
    thanks
