Great guide Tom. I'm glad someone took all that info and put it down in one place. I agree with everything you said, and had pretty much the same experience in college. After using a 14" 5.5 lbs HP for my last two years of college I finally broke down and bought a Macbook at the tail end of my senior year for grad school. Everyone thinks they're the one that doesn't want an ultra--portable, but it doesn't take long for those 12" Dells and 13" Macbooks you see the upper divsion kids carrying to become real tempting. They're carrying those for a reason.
