I have a compaq hp. Its great and it goes everywhere I go while I am working. Light enough to carry even when I am wearing heels.

The macs, tho, are lighter and those that I know that own one, really love it.

And don't worry about memory. Even the crappiest, cheapest computer out there has more memory than you could ever use.
