back when I started college, I bought the best power to weight ratio laptop I could find... it weighed a featherlight 8 pounds and had a 14.1" screen. I thought I would blow the money and get the smaller one so I could carry it everywhere... to class and such.
I think I took it to class a total of 3 or 4 times over the course of 4 years. Too frickkin heavy. 8 lbs of laptop plus 8 lbs of books in a bag cantilevered off your back 4 blocks to school just doesn't work.
I'm seeing these new netbooks that have 2-4 times the ram, 4 times the hard drive space, windows 7, better wifi, better batteries.... and weigh 2 pounds. for $400. ridiculous.
