That's a beast, doesn't it weigh a ton and don't you worry about having spinners knocking around in your bag?

Do you need that much in a luggable? I would have that setup on a desktop, having that in my portable machine would remove most of the advantages of it (for me at least)?

I work out of 3 offices (home and 2 jobs). I have desktops at two of the offices that run servers that matter for local office stuff. I move this laptop around when I plan on being at a given office for a work day. This thing builds faster than any desktop I have (currently).

I have never tried to bring it on a plane, I suspect they would charge me for an extra ticket because the laptop is too heavy. Seriously, I would bring one of my smaller machines if I planned on being mobile multiple times through the day. I have clevo ultrabook, access to a macbook air through one of my jobs and a small collection of netbooks, if I don't need much I might just stick with my phone (or a tablet) and a bluetooth keyboard.
