Hi,
I'm looking for a new laptop, and actually this question can be targeted at any user of a 2.8kg laptop, but i thought i'd try asking S1 users since I'm really interested in one.
Please see:

Do you think an LG S1 would suit my needs, or is it too heavy and large for day to day travel with a slingbag?
Thanks

Personally I use backpacks more than slingbags, and I find that the weight is fine. I do switch to a slingbag now and then and it starts off ok, but if I have to walk far, I do start to feel the weight. If you want to have a general idea of how much 2.8 will feel on your shoulder, you could always try filling up a few bottles of water to 2.8 litres and putting that in a bag.. Sounds silly I know, but I tried it once!
Don't forget that while the laptop weighs 2.8, you'll probably be carrying your powerpack and all that other stuff too. -
i agree with kensuke, if you are going to use a slingbag all day you will start to feel it after 10mins of walking. i would suggest a good backpack with good support. i have the T1 and with a 1L water bottle and a binder and a text book with my microsoft mouse and power adapter it does start to add up.

Hello there,
I am an extremly happy owner of the S1I don't find the weight to be a problem at all...I use mostly slingbags as well. I'm a skinny woman and find it hard to understand how a 3 kg computer bag can pose a problem to you guys
even if you carry it with you for few hours a day. Personally I think you will be just find with it. Good luck.

I'm tempted. really...what a difficult decision buying a laptop is!

IT sure is
It took me a few months of looking around and asking for advice, just as I thought I had found a perfect lappy a new one would pop out of nowhere...
I guess there is always something new, better looking, more powerfull or practical that is waiting around a corner. The more you analyze the more difficult it gets. My advice is, if you like it , buy it! Maybe I'm old fashioned, but the best way to buy a laptop is at a regular store, where you can actually touch it, feel it, compare it to others. Anyhow, hope you'll be a happy owner of a new machine soon
