I have a 20 inch screen Powerbook G4 (mac) that I take all the time. I bought it before I worked for the airlines and honestly I think it's a little too big. Next laptop I get is going to be smaller but not that much smaller.

I'll tell ya...the keyboard bites, but it's handy to have to check bids, schedule, etc. without packing the bar of gold bullion that my big laptop is. At least it's a QWERTY type so it's not that bad. As far as movies go, the screen is much bigger than a Sansa or video IPod so it's fairly easy on the eyes. It's got video out as well, so I can usually connect it up to the hotel TV without too much trouble. Basic battery gives me about 4 hours when watching video...much more when just surfing. I have a double capacity battery for it that doesn't add much bulk but doubles the basic battery life.

Yeah i bring mine, because I never know where I'll be on some of these trips. I've only been using a laptop for about 3-4 months now, but I also use it as my computer at work to kill the time. And yeah, I have a few classic games I play(Diablo II, StarCraft, original Rainbow 6).
