It's a preference for light weight and compact size. The laptop that stays home doesn't do anything to help me on the road. I learned this the hard way back in the mid 90s. I owned a PowerBook 5300c and a Duo 210 (as well as a desktop PowerMac), and it was the Duo that saw the most use.
Even today, many times I find my newish (rev B) 12" PowerBook to be a bit too bulky and instead grab my 4-year-old laptop PC, which instead of 4.6lbs weighs only 3.4. If Apple would take the current 12" PB and shave 1/2" of thickness and 1lb of weight (by ditching the optical drive), I'd buy one right away.
