Kevin’s full briefcase is 2 * 8 = <<2*8=16>>16 pounds.
His empty briefcase is 8 / 2 = <<8/2=4>>4 pounds.
The contents of his briefcase weigh 16 - 4 = <<16-4=12>>12 pounds.
His work papers weigh 12 / 6 = <<12/6=2>>2 pounds.
Thus, his laptop weighs 12 - 2 = <<12-2=10>>10 pounds.
Therefore, Kevin’s laptop weighs 10 - 8 = <<10-8=2>>2 pounds more than Karen’s tote.
