1) How big and what is the weight of the W700 adapter?

2) Is it usable on a longhaul flight ?

The W700 is a fantastic piece of art, but it is a desktop replacement...and a half. It weighs over 8lbs (including the battery), but unless you fly First Class, no way for Coach/Economy, or even Business Class. Either way, the battery won't last. You'd have to get two additional ones for this "longhaul flight". Oh, and the battery is approx 2 1/2 times as big as the usual T series models. I've never seen anything like it.

My 15" Thinkpad was also a bit uncomfortable, and useless if the person in front of you reclines the seat at all. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. A 14.1" model would be fine, or any of the X series. Where are you flying to? lol
