32 ounces of water roughly weighs 4 lbs (weight of my water bottle).

Not sure of the monitor but should weight the same for the C64, Vic20, 800xl
and CoCo. Here's the following (roughly, no scale):

Wide Screen laptop weights 8 to 10 lbs (with power)

> - Atari 800 XL
7 lbs with power supply (power supplies varied)
7 lbs with disk drive and power supply (each)

> - TRS CoCo 3
4 lbs with power
6 -8 lbs (some drive have heavy power supplies (each)

The drives get a bit complicated. Some 5 1/4 full height drives were
heavy. The half height 5 1/4 were lighter. 3 1/2 even lighter. 8"
drives are ridiculously heavy. OS9 (NitrOS9 can use all the above).
8" drive were less likely in hobbyist circles so were 3 1/2.

I'm sure others can fine tune this
