Hi all, I received my X61s (7668CTO) with supposedly an ultralight screen a couple days ago, but I'm not sure if I actually have an ultralight monitor for the following reasons:

1) It doesn't really look that bright, but I guess I don't have an ultralight screen side by side to compare it to.

2) I was told my laptop would be delayed 1-2 weeks because the ultralight screens were out of stock, but then it shipped 2 days later.

3) It seemed a bit heavy at initial measurement (~3.5 lbs)

I used a more precise scale and I found that my X61s with the extended 8 cell battery weighs 3.37 lbs.

The 8 cell battery itself is 1 lb so the laptop body is 2.37 lbs.

I've seen the other threads regarding this issue:

1) I installed Everest and it only lists my screen as Plug and Play monitor

2) I don't really want to take apart my screen to look for differences in the bezel

What do you guys think?

Sir, you don't have to take anything apart, please visit this website and report back the Service FRU number. Generally 13N7092 is Ultralight. However if the receipt and sticker says it's ultralight then it would certainly be Ultralight.
