    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.

    Take out the battery and let it drain for 3 months.

    Thanks Space! Exactly what I was looking for, I will give them a go. I just hope a serial killer type wont turn up and bludgeon me to death using my own laptop.
