I have the 17" MBP and travel with it. I was on economy class last week on both a 737 and an RJ and had no problem using it on either plane. I had the 17" Powerbook then sold it and bought a Macbook. I loved the computer but hated the small screen. So when the C2D came out in the 17" I bought it and would not trade it. The weight difference is not that much.
