You know what? You're right! I'm a 6'3" 230 lb guy that carries his MacBookPro around with some books and camera equipment. It only weighs about 40lbs and feels like nothing!
My aunt complains about carrying around her 18.4", 9lbs Sony laptop, with a 3 pound power brick for work and she wants a netbook instead.
Like you I have no problems with it and she shouldn't either. So, I tell her to buck up, stop being a sissy, and start training to carry that around.
What a 20-something-year-old boot camp person can do should be no problem for a 5'4", 130lbs, 53-year-old office worker. I'll make sure she carries a 65 lbs rucksack as part of her training.
Will it help with her PC load times? I'm not sure, but it's worth a shot if her knees don't give out first.
