This message makes me think you are not used to carry your laptop on the daily basis. Try to carry you laptop at least a one day having for example a big walk (get new area/city to explore on the foot, for example).

I lug around my laptop every single day. I bought a cheap bag off Amazon [0] because I also lug around the charger and an external mouse. I also carry a gallon of water with me everywhere I go.

I'm glad you're tough enough to carry heavy laptops, most of the people are not so tough.

I could understand that answer if laptops weighed 45lbs....but honestly if carrying around a few pounds is too heavy, I'm curious how they have the energy to even walk anywhere? =\

I agree with the OP, it's not a big deal. I used to cycle 20km with the laptop bag on my back, a little more or less is like adding a book to the bag, I don't even notice it
