Laptop Shoping, Your Thoughts?

G'day Everyone

Story is, I'm looking for a new laptop for Uni and Uni only. My current laptop is really giving me the sh**s with it's 30 minute battery life (on low performace i might add), lack of compatibility with every mouse I use and is too cumbersom for the performance it gives. He's gunna be formated very soon and the operating system replaced with XP instead of Vista for use purely for Astro stuff. Anyway, at the moment i'm tossing up between a Macbook Pro or this little piece of machinery http://www.asus.com.au/product.aspx?...9O0XZhFswxrTrn Macbook Pro's are currently going for around $1400 but this Eee PC I can get for $1000 and at the moment i'm strongly leaning towards the Eee PC because it just seems purpose built for a Uni student. Anyway what are people thoughts, suggestions, recomendations about a laptop for Uni? Also has anyone had any experiences with laptops similar to the Eee PC?

Hope to see what people think!
