Is 5.29 lbs too heavy for a laptop that I need to carry everywhere ?

[Waiting for Those Letters]

I'm ordering an HP from online for law school. I'm not sure if 5.29 lbs will turn out to be hassle. My current laptop is so OLD that I can't compare this new with it..
Sorry in advance, if this is considered a stupid question!

I don't mean to be a jerk but...are you serious with this question?
I guess i'll answer that most of your law school books will about the same or possibly more than a 5LB laptop...im currently on a relatively old hp and it probably weighs about that. I really dont think you should have any issues unless you have some sort of severe back problems. but anyway. my bag will sometimes weigh a lot more than that on days where i have a lot of classes. i refuse to use the law school lockers so i carry that around all day with no problem.

5+ lbs is a monster.

Go with something lighter. Some people may say 5+ lbs is okay, but they likely have never owned a lighter one.

It really adds up when you have to carry a bunch of books. Plus heavier laptops are thicker, taking up more backpack space.

Mine weighs 3.8x lbs and it's perfect.

lose 5lbs ad the net gain is only .29 lbs.  problem solved.  .29 lbs is not too much to carry around.

You're going to be okay.  If you're worried about weight, use a locker or car for your books, or have your books split into smaller pieces.

I wish I can afford something that weighs less. But, I cannot afford something like the Lenovo. Are there any laptops out there that weighs relatively less and still are reliable- under 900$?

Don't sweat it. Like some of the other posters said, you can always use the lockers or switch off with books in your car if you have time. I have a laptop that weighs that much, and I'm fine with it. Don't go into debt to get something that is lighter if you don't have to.

Seriously?

Did you even bother to look or research a laptop?

First result I found, 3.97lbs, 13.3" screen, great reviews, $999 w/out discounts:
