Is it dual core?
If so, take one of the cores out.
Also, compress all your files to make them lighter.

Use a smaller font, documents not only weigh less, you save on ink when they print.

My 'old' laptop weighs a tonne... new style Dell with big screen and a 9 cell battery.
Didn't notice it so much when moving it about in the car, but when I commuted 2 hours by trains every day for 9 months I started to get clicks in my joints which later turned into pains..
Stopped doing that commute now, got new laptop and I'm as good as new, but will always buy a much lighter laptop model from now on.
