I did some reading on here and there's a thread out there with the exact weights...took some digging to find. Some guy worked at a place with a very accurate scale and weighed it as like 4.18 w/ 4 cell and 4.58 with 8 cell.

the thing is light. its hard to imagine it being much lighter.

and the weight you should really want to know is how much it weighs with the power adapter, cause that thing is a good percentage of total weight.

I'm the aforementioned "some guy." And I'm weighing these things again on three seperate scales! Unfortunately, I don't have my standard battery with me. I'll do it tomorrow. I don't know what you need this info for, but I'm having fun.

The laptop with the extended battery is 4.6 lbs (+-0.05).
That's 4 pounds 9.6 ounces (+-0.1).
(That stamps.com scale must measure poundsunces.)

The A/C adapter is 0.85 lbs. Or 13.8 ounces.

My backpack with my books, binder, latop w/ext batt, mouse, calculator, cables, etc. weighs in at a back-breaking 24.6 lbs!

The Latitude X1 weighs almost exactly half the weight of the 700m With the extended battery.

1.1kg vs 2.08kg

And it also costs twice as much as the 700m.

Can someone also please post the minimum operational weight. That is, the 700m with slim batt and weight saver module.

there is no weight saver module from what i can gather...well i didn't get one, and i repeatedly asked dell for one

as for the lat x1, it maxes out at 1.1 ghz, you need an external d/bay (so add that weight in) for optical drive and the nuissance of having an extra thing that isn't conveniently packaged. plus how long does the 6-cell last?

anyways starting at 2.5lbs, add .5 lbs for the 6 cell, then add an extra 1+ lbs for the d/bay and drive for a total 4+ lbs, which gives you about .5 lb less than the 700m with 8-cell. so let's rethink weight savings of the x1

the nice thing about the x1 is that it has internal bluetooth

Your body weight is better secured and attached to your person than any laptop would be (in the near future, anyway) so you're not going to notice the change as much
