I'd have sexual relations with cortana.
My current laptop is comparable in weight to the Y510p, and I've only ever minded the weight on walks >1mile (which won't be happening this semester). By portability I mostly meant good performance with halfway-decent battery life, which my current laptop has none of. I didn't think it would be possible but the new Haswell chipset have shown to have great improvements in extending battery life. Also booting Win8 up from Hibernate is pretty darn snappy even on a 5400rpm HDD so I don't find that to be any issue.
And if down the road I do, the Y510p has Lenovo's "Ultrabay", which is a section on the righthand side where you can swap out Optical Drives, HDDs, SSDs, or even another GT 750M if I wanted. So if I do end up wanting a SSD later when my budget is bigger I could easily just add one in.
Oh, and as for "lugging it around", I might add that FGCU's Campus is absolutely tiny compared to pretty much anywhere else. xD
is it worth buying the parts separately?
Will post pictures once I get my apartment in August.
