Percentages are misleading in such small absolute numbers. "30%" is 160 grams (0.3 pounds) in this context.

The 14” is 360g (0.8 lbs) heavier than the Air. The 13” (which is little more than a heavier air) is the one that’s 160g heavier than the air.

And percentages are not at all misleading, the 14” does feel a lot heavier.

Only if you are solely carrying a laptop, and not considering the bad.

Bag, a book, a few pens, a water bottle and cables/headphones/drives is a pretty minimal load that makes a 360g increase a small delta.
