Read somewhere in the forums that 7 KG is allowed as hand-baggage.

Someone mentioned that laptop is not weighed, is this true?
What if we put some documents in the laptop bag, will there be objections? Though I am not planning to put in too many in the laptop bag

Can we take CDs in the laptop bag? Will they check for what all type of CDs etc you have along with laptop?

Another important question is - What about shopping done at the airport. I am planning to buy shoes at Delhi airport, will they ask me to include it in the hand-baggage (within 7 kg)?

the shopping at airport is not counted, they dont weigh the laptop bag but if the bag is heavy they can make out the way you carry it. we had a lot of stuff when we came, while boarding teh fight they asked us to checkin one bag as they said it is much more than the permitted 7 kg allowance. but fortunately they did not charge for it

Usually they do this to scare people and try to control by mentioning that. I have never had my hand luggage weighed by anyone at the airport. So the best to do would be keep in between 7-10 kg.
