I have a 17" unibody MacBook Pro and while I'm usually fine lugging it around, I've recently grown tired of it. 7 months since I bought it and it's finally starting to bug me - it's only 6.5lbs or so plus an additional 4-5lbs of misc things in my bag, but I haul on my back to and from meetings/my office/coffee shops etc. I barely ever leave it behind. What I'm noticing lately is that most times I haul it with to a meeting or to get some quick work done, I'm not doing much more than browsing, writing emails/notes and chatting with clients. I've been planning on picking up a netbook, probably tomorrow actually, after I spend another hour in best buy writing a test essay on each keyboard while looking for the best one. I've noticed netbooks becoming much more common as a meeting laptop - in the past month I've seen 2 or 3 and kind of fallen in love with them. They do what you need them to, the battery can last all day and it's super light so I usually just pick it up and hand it to someone rather than sliding my big MBP around. I'm really looking forward to turning my MacBook Pro into a desktop replacement - though I wish I had known this before I bought it, I would've just picked up a desktop instead. Would've saved a few hundred bucks.
