Apple's website lists only a single weight for a 2018 15" Macbook Pro



https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs/




Weight: 4.02 pounds (1.83 kg)3

          I doubt there’s any difference at all. Perhaps a few tens grams, but nothing that would change that it is about 1,8 kg.

          • There will be a difference -- you can't go from a 512GB SSD to a 4 TB SSD without adding chips -- but it won't be much.

          • @Mark yes, that’s what the additional tens of grams are for. Those extra flash chips really do not weigh much. CPU’s are the same weight no matter which CPU frequency, etc.
