It probably weighs between 5 and 7 lbs, which is a ton by todays standards. Of course, if you want a cheap laptop, they still usually weigh about 5 lbs. The lighter you go, the more expensive they get.

Yeah my brother got it when he went to college in 2004 and gave it to me when I started college this year and I just put on a wireless card and I don't want to buy a new battery so I plug it into the wall.
I want the Macbook $1,299 version with:
* 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
* 1GB memory
* 160GB hard drive1
* Double-layer SuperDrive
* I'm getting a Mighty Mouse
* A hard shell (I've heard things about the Speck one scratching up the glossy top on the Macbook)
Possibly a new bag that will hold alot stuff and protect it. I have a leather bag my Uncle (a business man) just gave me but I don't know if it will protect my stuff and I don't think it is good to carry around a leather bag. I seen a good $100 one that would have everything I need and it can function as a backpack and a messenger bag. I'm hoping to keep it below $1500.
The bag I want
I get a $100 student discount and I have $800 right now and I'm going to put the rest on a credit card and I'll get 90 days same as cash. I hope I just don't get laid off.
Besides the Macbook has excellent reviews, I've heard great things about Leopard, I really don't want to buy anything with Vista on it or pay to downgrade to XP, and I've always wanted a Mac.
Yeah I'm in sociology class right now.
