    Hello,

    I have just a single question about this computer :
    is 2kg (4.4lbs) the total weight of the computer, including plugs, wires and stuff?

    Thank you :)

    This was just the laptop, nothing else.

    mmmh, thank you! And what about all that comes around, like wires, battery and charger?

    If it's more than 2.5kg, it's not so portable anymore :p

    Not sure on the charger as I use the dell travel super slim charger (only works with the r1 65watt).

    The battery is built into the laptop, so that number includes the battery.

    He probably has a lot of movies and music on his drive. All that data can quickly add up to a few additional ounces.

    HD's might weigh diff but there is also probably some manufacturing tolerance. I would not be shocked if R1,2,3 all weigh diff.

    I have the new screen in mine, plus every option has been added... so mine should be the max weight of a m11x r1.... maybe my ram and hdd are lighter than yours.
