I carry a 760C w/ the manual, power adapter, battery, ethernet gunk all in a
Targus backpack. It isn't really that heavy carrying it this way. I've also
carried it in a Kensington compact shoulder case, and again, it didn't seem
that bad. Albeit, I'm 6'4" 225 and I lift and run, but I still haven't really
felt any strain or annoyance. With the backpack, though, I wouldn't try to break
out in a full run.
