Putting it all together you’re looking at just under 6 pounds. That’s actually why I’m not particularly concerned about it not clipping on the back. If I wanted to carry around a 6 pound tablet in the crook of my arm, I’d have bought a Tecra M4.

As it is now, I put the keyboard in my bag instead of clipping it on the back. Works very well and keeps the weight out of my hands.

Thanks for clearing that up Trevor. I could live with clipping it to the front as it would protect the screen during transport. It must be a pain having to remove the keyboard to use the slate though. How much does the slate plus extended battery plus keyboard weigh?

I can clarify the LE1600 + CK + Extended battery issue.

You can absolutely use the LE with the extended battery and keyboard together. I’m typing this right now on my convertible keyboard.

The only limitation is that you cannot clip the CK on the back of the LE with the battery. You can still clip it to the front which works very well for transport.

(can you tell I’m listening right now?)

I think we are not seeing any issues with the X41T yet is because no one has one yet.

Looking at the Lenovo forum on the Buzz, only a handful of people have received their machines yet.

Hopefully, it will be without issues though.

Thanks for the kind words and publicity, JK and Marc. It really means a lot coming from y’all!

(And I’m glad I got around to updating things yesterday! lol)
