The fact that it's nearly 4 lbs? There's different levels of portability for laptops. I don't consider 4 lbs to be very portable. Hope that helps

Is this a good laptop for work/business travel? I need mobility, around 3.5 lb weight. Do not think I need a discrete graphics card.

The B and H photo deal in Dec for this laptop with i5-7200u processor was 549 with no taxes.
How does i5-8250 compare with 7200?

You guys should wait a bit, it was just announced that Intel has a vulnerability problem and the fix will nerf speeds by 17% around, sounds like huge discounts and lawsuits are to come!
