Are desktops heavy to carry after you purchased them?


I was going to go to best buy tomorrow to buy a new Hp Desktop computer, and i know they weight around 20-25 pounds, but i was wondering how the hell are you suppose to carry that damn thing for 13 blocks because i have no car..

I want to know if it will be heavy and if i would need to get a bus or a taxi to take me home. I only lift about 15 pound dumbels so Im not that strong.

And i was wondering if theres like a strap on case (like a briefcase handle) so that you can easily carry it like a briefcase without any complications

As the previous poster said, it depends on the type of monitor you get. It will be more bulky and awkward than really heavy, but no matter what 13 blocks is quite a distance to carry it. Can you get a friend to go with you to help? If not, I would consider a taxi or bus.

does it have an lcd monitor or a crt? if it's an lcd, especially if it's a smaller case, then i'd think you'd be fine. if it's a crt you'll probably want to take a taxi, cause those things are a bear.

with any computer i've ever bought, the box had handles in it, so you can probably make that work.

the box will be bulky, i'd get a taxi to pick you up there and take you home.
