I also use one for work and refuse to call it a laptop.
This thing is a DRAG-ABLE. The GX240 is lighter!
We use the leather case which is much better for carrying the power brick and cables etc.
The actual plastic box seems to be really flimsy with the screen being almost too flexible, BUT, it has lasted through some tough time with me and come out with flying colors. It is actually quite robust.

I use it with two hard disks to switch between W2k and Linux and am very happy with it, it is my full time PC now so is a desktop replacement.
