Its funny to see other peoples different tastes.
I've always been for bigger, heavier, faster, and in my opinion better.
When I sold my Duo 280 and bought my 190cs I was happy, then I sold that and bought a 3400c I was overjoyed. When I sold the 3400c and bought my Wallstreet I was equally joyous. Now I have this hot 17" as well.
Likewise, when I sold my tricycle and bought my small bicycle I was happy, then I sold that and bought a 10 speed mountain bike, which was way more fun... then I sold that and bought the Saturn, I was pretty happy. Then I sold the Saturn and bought a Camaro, which is like living in a dream land of speed and noise and large-ness.

I've carried heavy and/or bulky laptops around as well, and based on that experience have settled my preferences on the smaller and lighter machines. Most of the time the 12" PB is about right is about right, as I like to watch DVDs when I fly, which is far too often. For shorter hops or when I have many connecting flights to make, however, I prefer the little Toshiba, which despite being stuck with Windows (may put Linux on it) and having no optical drive, is light and small enough to just dissappear into my non-computer carry-on.
8lb laptops were fine in 1993 when that was all you could get, but now we have more choices and I vote with my wallet for thin and light.
