Does anyone know what the weight difference is, for the 15" model? I expect the glossy one is heavier because of the glass. I suppose there might be a small difference between the low-res and high-res screens, too.

is no-one interested in this? I imagine the glass on the glossy screen adds quite a bit of weight.
Thanks! I did search but didn't find that thread. The answer is that the glossy screen is "about 0.5lbs" heavier. That's a lot, although the "about" is rather vague. I may try to bring a balance into an Apple store and weigh them...

2.43 kg for a 15" high-res anti-glare. Note: the internal hard drive has been replaced with a 160gb Intel SSD which may have reduced the weight slightly.In a slightly more serious thread someone else measured the 2009 version to be 0.5lb lighter. It would be great if someone with an accurate (metric) scale could measure it - there's a lot of threads with 2010 AG owners, so someone should be able to measure it.
1g resolution on the scales I usedit was 2430g. (2436g before I remembered to take off the keyboard cover)If we collect enough data points we should get to the bottom of this issue. Please indicate if your balance only goes to 10g resolution (i.e. it is rounded to the nearest whole 10g). Please don't post if you have lower precision than this - 100g resolution isn't much use!
