I reckon it's deliberate that the IQ770 weighs so much as it avoids any hint of screen shake if you're prodding at the touch screen. I can see that in some homes where you might have three or four IQ770s scattered here and there that the weight might be an irrelevance. If you don't intend to move it around then I am sure you could select a machine that is better suited to a specific purpose and which costs less.
My view is that the IQ770 is multipurpose and therefore can fulfil a number of functions in a number of locations.
Kids got their friends round? park it in their room so they can watch a movie
Cooking? put it in the kitchen to look up recipes
Email? On the coffee table
My problem is that the IQ770 is effectively a laptop with a 19 inch touch screen but it doesn't have the portable nature of a laptop.
