3kg is actually ok.
Usually 15inch Laptops are all 3kg or so.

For me...first impression, I like the price, a very attractive price. I don't quite like the flimsy hinges and the housing doesn't feel that solid especially near the area where the speakers are.

i see.
But i heard from a friend who is doing IT.
He said that compaq's laptop casing aint good,as theres electricity leakage,not sure how far its true.
But HP seems better.

yup it's a good buy, but it heat up very fast, u can feel it when u touch the touchpad..
the battery life should be 2++ hours provided u switch ur screen brightness to the lowest, and doesnt put ur speaker to the loudest..
if u doesnt always carry the lappy around, this is a good buy though.. better stay for the coming pc fair, it's held at mid of april
