MacBook Air ... very thin, very light. Not the greatest screen for  
editing but an excellent choice for mobility.

I prefer the MacBook Pro 15", however, as I often need to use my  
laptop to drive a large monitor or digital projector for presentation  
purposes. (I'm still using the PowerBook G4 15", however ... just  
about identical form factor to the MBP15.)

I carry it more and more of the time, but on long distance travel it  
adds enormously to the amount of "stuff" I need to lug through  
airports and trains, etc. I'd prefer to be without it but often can't  
be if I'm doing any serious photography.
