I'm on the market for a new computer, but to be totally honest, I don't know what to look for. There's a lot of stuff out there right now and I'd really appreciate it if someone would be so kind as to help me narrow things down. :]

I want something:

- super small (I want to carry it from class to class on a large university campus)
- but not SO small that I can't do anything with it, though I do plan on using an external HD at home.

I would be using it for:

- word processing
- playing music
- watching lectures online
- using the internet in general
- storing photos and other small files

I basically want it to be small enough for me to carry around (I'm small too, and I have no muscles!!) but with enough power that I'd be able to multitask and use large-ish programs without having it slow down and freak out on me.

Also.. what are the pros and cons of using a Mac?

Sorry for the long personal post, and thanks for any responses!!
