The fact that it's thin is a pretty nice feature. Makes for more space in the bag.

I also carry a lot of stuff in my bag, including a camera, a/c adaptor, and a some other computer equipment. 2 lbs doesn't seem like much but if I have to be mobile for a long period of time, it's definitely noticeable.

Would I get it? Probably not. I don't have that much expendable income to have a power laptop and a luxury netbook.
