Purpose-made back-pack all the way. Shoulder-bags lead to shoulder/back issues, especially when carrying books/laptop etc.

Try use SAS/MATLAB/Mathematica/MAPLE on a netbook.
No one said anything about a netbook, the best laptop specs are like a Core i7 and 12 GB RAM? Yeah, you don't need a huge 17" desktop replacement for that, you can get them in a 14 incher.

i7 1.73ghx, 4GB of RAM, NVidia Geforce GT 330M, 16" screen, 500GB hard drive. 4.6kgs, the only problem with it is the fact that I picked an i7 so my battery life is only 3 hours tops. It sucks.

It's your huge screen eating up most of the battery, the i7 is only a bit more power hungry than a high-end Core 2 Quad.
