Windows 7 was the current operating system when this notebook was released. You can upgrade it yourself to Windows 8 relatively easily. The notebook weighs 4.12 lbs by itself.

It weighs 3.2 lbs, I love this little laptop! The lightest and fastest laptop I've ever owned!

Judging without a scale, roughly 5 lbs. It's fairly similar to the weight of my old laptop.

The actual dimensions are 13 3/8" x 9 5/8" x 7/8", with a true 14" viewable screen, although the actual glass has something like a 1/2" margin around the perimeter, which makes the full, physical screen that much larger. The computer, therefore, is approximately 16 1/4" measured diagonally. The weight as described, 4.4lbs, is accurate. I've weighed mine. I hope this helps.Good luck,Aaron

I purchased this computer for someone in our office. It had problems with the screen and didn't function properly, so we returned it (it was purchased in February '13 and returned it within days). Sorry to say, I have no idea what the weight was.

I don't have a scale small enough, but no, it is not 4 pounds. It is very light. Well less than half of my Dell XPS14 laptop.

I don't know the exact weight, but I believe it's just below 5 pounds. I can tell you that it is much lighter than my previous 15" computer. Hope this helps.

There is no noticeable weight added. I've tried holding the laptop at various angles and the screen never moved from it's original position. The perforated surface also gives your hands more to grip.

Sorry, Catherine, I really don't know the answer to this. Luckily, we've never had to use it, I just feel better having one as insurance. It's not very heavy, but at the same time, car windows are very strong, and they claim to break them! It's a great idea for the office! I never thought of it. Maybe you should email the manufacturer to see what they have to say.

Hmm...that seems right... But that's not heavy at all....that weight is spread throughout the whole keyboard...the keyboard is pretty darn light actually.... VERY LIGHT AND THIN...

Windows 8 is a major overhaul to the Windows setup that most people do not like. I specifically bought this computer because I did not want Windows 8. So it is probably Windows 7 because there is still some demand for it out there.

Its fine for travel and that kind of use. A bit slow and windows 8 is a bit odd compared to windows 7.

computer is just under 3 pounds. I think it's the shipping weight that is 12. I like the battery life a lot, trackpad is a bit twitchy & the power button is where I'm used to delete button so I've had to learn to be careful.

Robin.....I do not know anything about Vista....Mine came with Windows 7. Good, fast and reliable computer....However, as I have mentioned in my review....is it quite heavy for a laptop and would not suggest for carrying it for more than 5"....Really a heavy little puppy....But it works just fine at home on a desk.....Good luck.

The 5.3 lbs would be more accurate than 8. This laptop is not that heavy at all and definitely not 8lbs!

Haven't used it with Windows 7, but I have with Windows 8 and Mac. I upgraded from the earlier model (Natural 5000), while it is a bit smaller, it has much better feel.
