Not sure about whether this is an issue with Mac's, but usually a laptop with a larger screen eats up battery time. Big screen units are heavier as well.

I have an early HP laptop with the 17" screen and if I had to do it again, I'd go to a 14" or 15" and with the money saved, buy a separate 19" LCD. Dual screens are terrific for looking at 2 VW plots at the same time, or ground plan and plot, or plot and Lightwright, etc...
