> I read somewhere that it weighed almost as much as a macbook air.

You read some bullshit then, it's not even close to the Air in terms of weight. 4.46 pounds for the Retina and 2.38-2.96 pounds for the Air (11 or 13")

4.46 pounds = 2.02302197 kilogram 2.96 pounds = 1.34263342 kilograms

700 g difference. It's pretty close. My guess is you might have a hard time telling which is more heavy if you blind your eyes and weigh one in each hand.

Unless you have a handicap you would be able to tell instantly. It's a huge weight difference--the MBP Retina is 50% heavier than the heaviest MBA. That's the additional weight of an iPad sitting on the MBA.

The weight difference between the iPad 2 and the new iPad is quite noticeable and it's just 51 grams. The difference between these laptops is 14 times that.
