I've been looking into some of the smaller laptops (e.g. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834147987 - though for this one specifically I hate the extra dvd drive they are making me buy), but for what I looked into weight really gets too high (actual dimensions aren't that much of a problem since I'm not going to put it in my pocket, and I'll always be carrying some A4 sized stuff anyway).
But most laptops to me aren't really all that portable, more like movable, and totally not convenient to drag around all the time unless it's the main thing you're carrying instead of being just another gadget.
on Vista, I totally hate it. Windows 7 will be out by the time I buy whatever though, and if that's not great on the netbook I'm going to stick with XP. Ubuntu, not sure about that, I'd like to use that instead but it depends on whether I have to use some Windows-only software for classes and whether Wine will support those.
