    Don't know the answer exactly, but Apple is known for very tight packaging so that you won't get a big and bulky box -- it's only as big as it needs to be and the laptop fits snugly inside. It has a handle so you could carry it out of a store easily.

    I’m just curious as to why you need to know the size of the box? Are you, by any chance, sending me one in the mail?

    im going to go out on a limb and guess. Laptop weighs about 6 pounds, so with the cables and stuff I'd say approx 7.5 pounds, maybe 8.
