10 pounds is a lot of notebook. I had a Sager that was about 12 pounds and it was a beast to lug around.

Remember when all portables were tha big?

Whoever said that those were portables was terribly midlead. Although I guess they had never seen anything different, so a 12 pound, 3" think computer was a little more portable than a big tower and a CRT. I have an old IBM that runs on Windows 95, has like a 7" screen, and is like 3 inches thick. The thing still runs the games I have for it...on floppy disk.

Actually, a 19 inch widescreen notebook would not have to be very much larger at all than the current 9300.
Why do people persist in acting as though such a laptop would require a crane to haul around??

How did people ever get by when they had to haul firewood and water into the house from a well and today we gripe about a couple of extra pounds gheesh!!

Everyone seems to forget that the Dell XPS gen 1 laptop is a shade over 10 lbs. That computer was a TANK.

The 19" laptop first gen will likely be big, but as Dell gains experience with the manufacturing process I'm sure things will slim down. I'd like to have the 9300 that was 1" THIN, and I expect to see something like this in the future.

I can see how a 19" laptop would be excellent for what I use it for, and if the weight was 7-8 lbs, it would be a no brainer purchase.

If the weight was around what the 9300 is, I'd consider it. But at over 10 lbs, its way too much of a desktop replacement for me. It would replace the dekstop...sitting on the desk. I still think I'd rather a 17 incher as when you're sitting that close, a 19 incher might be a little too big. Personally, I tend to sit closer to a notebook than I would a desktop, because the keyboard is attached.

I'm guessing a 19" laptop is for the LAN Party User Market

Yeah, or a graphics developer. 10.6 lbs isn't any more than the top level Sagers have been. It will be be bigger, of course.
