    Since its 4.1lb with the 3 cell, I woould assume it'll be around 4.5~ with the 6 cell.

    Roughly, it would double, since its a double in the number of cells. So 1.9kg with the 3 cell, a bit over 2kg with the 6 cell.

    It should be available very soon, according to my sources. As well, there seems to be at least two models, the F9s and F9dc, as well as the F9e.

    Main difference is, F9s = Core 2 Duo /w 8400G, F9dc = AMD X2 /w 8400G, F9e = Core 2 Duo /w x3100 + 3.5g wireless. The prices also should vary, the F9s and F9e should be around the same(the F9e because of the 3.5g wireless addition), while the F9dc should be a tad cheaper with the AMD processor. Though I would of though the F9dc would have the ATO HD2300 or something, since AMD=ATi?

    Well, yes, but ATI is having problems with GPU production atm, so they probably decided to go with the 8400G. Its not like AMD is averse to using nvidia products, their most popular desktop line is the nvidia SLI chipset.

    And actually, I thought the F9D had the Turion X2 and X1250 integrated graphics...
