depends. Will you just take it from your home to your car, and 
later from the car to the customer, or is it planned for an 
expedition to some rainforest where you will carry it the 
whole day? Is the weight relevant during work with the 
notebook or only for transportation?

My mother uses an old Compaq notebook to do some work in the 
weekend house. Here weight does not matter and it is about 5 
pounds. 

A friend works as technician with his C1 all day, he usually 
holds it with one hand while typing with the other. He claims 
it is too heavy and it is just about 2 pounds.
