Why not use a wheeled computer case, expecially one that can piggyback
on full sized wheeled luggage? The wheels make it easier to use around
towns, unless the location has unpaved and bumpy roads. For that roads
like that I use a wheeled luggage carrier when I don't feel like using
my backpack.
Any computer that you get that's iMac size or larger will weigh more.
But the netbooks will do considerably less. Buy the MB Air. That's what
you want. The HD version is NOT flimsy [who told you that?]. Afraid of
hard drives? Use a USB flash drive for you data--use two or three [and
online] for backup.
