15” air is 3.3 lbs, 14” pro is 3.5 lbs. For pure weight they’re very very close.

    If both of them are presented in front of you, you lift one up and weight the other, it's immediate that the MBA is subjectively lighter.

    But if one purchased the MBP without having touched the MBA, the weight is actually a non-issue. Its not an everyday occurrence to have access to both that it would make a true difference.

    Just like how the display is very very close that it could be negligible, as to your point, the weight could be negligible too.

    agreed. This is what people dont get it. They just look at specs and say both are same weight but 15" Air will feel substantially lighter than 14" MBP.

    This is because all of the weight of the 14" MBP is at the top sector near the display hinge due to fans and other components. The weight is not evenly spreaded out unlike the 15" or 13" air. People just dont get this stuff without carrying and holding them side by side.
