Ugh, been there more than a few times in recent years and between the 8200 & various other things I back around with it must be > 30lbs.

The laptop being ~10lbs with both batts keeps me from just grabbing it on a whim and hitting the coffee shop. Top it off it's still not enough power mobile (short of finding an outlet) to play the games I want to play and that was one of the main reasons I got that model. Damn M9 with no upgrade path!

Still I fantasize about wanting a XPS or whatever replaces it since what I want it a mobile workstation not just a notebook.

Tell me about it. On my m6805, the battery dies within 15 minutes on a full charge. Of course, this is running the proc at full steam (A64 3000+ DTR), full brightness and OC'ing the Radeon 9600 to 414/225MHz (core/mem) :P
Give me fuel cells already...
