Article meets DYK requirements and a QPQ has been found. I also didn't find any close paraphrasing. I am only approving ALT1 as it is a hook that would be intriguing even to non-techies; I can't access the source so AGF, but it is cited inline in the article.

Weight?

How much did this “luggable” computer actually weigh? Like 10 pounds or something? --Giacomo1968 (talk) 04:28, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Variable depending on the model, but about 10 pounds yes. (Luckily it comes with a handle.) I've added the weights, with citations, to the article. DigitalIceAge (talk) 06:23, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I appreciate the additional info. The phrase “luggable” is hilarious! --Giacomo1968 (talk) 03:15, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
