I was expecting the Dell to be some 7 lb. all-battery monster, but no, it weighs in at a claimed 3.4 lbs.

Variable refresh rate obviously plays a role, if you don’t mind reading web pages at 1Hz.

In general the biggest battery you'll see is 99.9Wh, which is barely over a pound. Since it's nice to be able to take your laptop on a plane.
