Hi Steve...I checked. Box says 65#...and there was nothing in the box but the buffer and LW padding. Thanks

If I weigh something over 16 oz and it's on the "oz" it will still register in "oz".... 16.08 for example. If I weigh the same thing I would have to move it to "lb" to register it in "lbs" and then will register 1.008. Hope I explained it Ok.

The 5.3 lbs would be more accurate than 8. This laptop is not that heavy at all and definitely not 8lbs!

Hey Dennis, the one I got a week or so ago was 40lbs. I had the same question, had to search around to find it.

I'd say that weight is accurate. Mine is weighing in at 2 lbs even, with a pack of gum and a light windbreaker in it.As you can tell by the cubic volume, (34L) it's not huge, but has much functionality - with 4 zippered pockets {2x vertical sides, 1 lrg main, 1 sm front; not to mention the interior zippered mesh pocket. The back panel, has 3 foam pads that provide frame support and pad the load from your back. Last but not least 4 compression straps, 2 L & 2 R. All this adds up, I guess. Not a superlight. To me, I think I mentioned in my review; if you are looking for max functionality, while staying fully compact - this is your pack. Rides better than any other day pack I've had. No sag.

HI. I made a ball of aluminium of 2.64 grain for you and dropped it on the scale over 10 times, also 10 times in between was another weight of 45.08 grainboth number were constant on every time. in resume, I can't tell you my 2.64 grain ball was exact, but it sure was constant.good luckPS, you should start a question with Hi at least... just saying :-)

No although your feet will hang over in front and back just position your feet in the middle facing the numbers and it will give you a correct weight.

Per the manual, I remember the number 200 lbs, though I believe some heavier people have used them at our h ouse.

Hi Melvin, I see what you are saying. Totally wrong weight. I don't charge shipping to specifically avoid issues like this because other merchants sometimes put in wrong product information. I've tried to change the weight on the listing, and it looks like it is correct now. Thanks for bringing that up! -Channells

I weigh 230 and it was fine for me. I don't think 30 extra pounds would be an issue at all.

I used a tape measure... Weight isn't always accurate; I've found. Build/measurement is more important.

Yes. That is the correct weight. And when you step off, the correct weight is still showing.

Good question. I never noticed when I ordered mine so it's probably just a typo? My bar was 44.2 pounds. Official weight is supposed to be 44.0 pounds (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbell#Men.27s_bar).

Yes. I have bought several times and it's the same. I always assumed the weight to be accurate.

If the 10lb weight you're using to test the scale is a typical fitness weight (either olympic or standard, doesn't matter), it's highly unlikely to weigh exactly 10lbs. Typcally, the cheaper the weight, the more inaccurate it will be.
