If you plan to take it out a lot, I would suggest getting a lighter laptop.
Definately wait to get the new Asus EEE, it weighs only 2 lb and it is priced around $400:

the eepc isnt practical for school. theres no cd/dvd rom and the keys are TINY. so unless you have tiny fingers itll be hard to type notes and all that stuff for school. plus theres hardly any hard drive

the whole point of those laptops are mostly for people that either have a travel drive handy or are using it just as a second computer for internet or w/e.

they are pretty cool though i must admit. but i cant ever see myself using it for anything other than the games on there and internet.
