Huh they exactly the same. 3.48 pounds
My Macbook weighs under 2 lbs...
And this thing feels like there are rocks in it compared to the Macbook
There has literally never been a Macbook less than 2 pounds. Sounds like you're talking about the current 12" Macbook (which is listed at 2.02 pounds). In which case the question is, who said anything about the Macbook? That Macbook doesn't stack up performance-wise, and it's smaller, making a comparison irrelevant. The comparison would be to the Macbook Pro 13", which weighs 3.48 pounds.
I have the current macbook, I thought it was 1.98, I guess that's my mistake, as far as performance I find it as quick or quicker than other i7s out there.
