That thing must be filled with lead shot if it weighs 9lbs. I have a laptop twice that size that weighs just 6lbs. Maybe 9lbs is the shipping weight? Or is it actually 3.9lbs or something?
@Ducman69 So what you're saying is that the base probably IS filled with lead shot. That actually would make sense. Still, it seems rather heavy and you'd think they'd boast more about the weight of the unit without the stand, which is probably closer to 3-4 lbs.

@weatherman Like most monitors, the fact that its vertical means they probably do use a cast metal base.
Moot though, as its not like this is meant to travel, and 9lbs isn't going to dent even an Ikea desk.

Love your dp spike

@weatherman
Ya, well, but probably some cheapo grade die-cast steel rather than literally lead though.
