    Hello! I was wondering what the average weight of the Alienware 13 R3 is? Some review sites are saying it's 5.4 lbs while others say 5.8 lbs

    I'd be getting one with the 1920x1080 FHD display, if that makes a difference in the weight.

    Anyone with the computer know the correct weight?

    Charger weighs at least 1 Lb. More likely Laptop weighs 5.4 to 5.8 depending on configuration (extra cooling for GTX 1060 vs GTX 1050, OLED has gorrila glass panel for touch vs 1080P with plastic bezel)

    Thanks, that makes more sense because I was thinking "There's no way a charger weighs 4 ounces"
