Compared to a flashier system such as the Toshiba Qosmio, the LifeBook N6420 feels somewhat underdesigned. The exterior and interior are basic gray with black accents. The N6420's physical measurements are imposing at 16.3 inches wide by 12.0 inches deep by 1.9 inches thick. It's not the absolute heaviest 17-inch laptop we've ever seen, but it's a close contender. At 9.7 pounds (11.6 with the massive A/C adapter), it's awkward to even carry across the room, but it's still about a pound less than the Qosmio. The 17-inch Gateway NX860XL, at a mere 8.5 pounds, seems positively svelte by comparison.
