The Mod´s last sentence is even better than the question itself - "I dunno if others might differ..."
wtf?!

If it was a solid state drive the change in the number of electrons might account for it getting heavier....you'd only need billions of trillions

On a .7nm production process each 1 bit will hold about 400 electrons. Electrons have mass. Assuming 0 bits have no electrons we can calculate the weight of 1GB of 1’s (with the help of Google) thus:
Electron mass * 400 * 8 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 = 0.00000000000000312995978 grammes (per GB).
A Yottabyte of 1’s on this production process will weigh 3.5 grammes.
In 2010 all data in existence is expected to sum up to just under one Zettabyte (3 milligrammes).
(Magnitudes: kilo, mega, giga, tera, peta, exa, zetta, yotta)
Basically if he had all the data in the world on his laptop it would weight 3 milligrams more.

I'm an astronomer being off by 3 or 4 orders of magnitude is no biggy :p (assuming he did have a large amount of data on it

)
