I'm currently in university and having a heavy laptop really doesn't help. I have a Dell Inspiron 8500 that weighs 9lbs. I find that it is both too big and heavy to carry to campus everyday. I don't really need my laptop at school and wanted a desktop replacement so it doesn't bother me too much.
If you are going to be travelling a lot to classes, you will really want something that is light. Make sure to get a Pentium M Centrino. The fans will pretty much never be on when in class and you have the added benefit of added battery life.
