Anything that's below a 17". I'd say a 13" or 15" is good, though. A 10" netbook is even better if you wanna stay lightweight.

13-14", IMO, is the sweet spot for getting something powerful enough while still being portable.

Depends on how big you are. A 6' football player can lug around a bigger laptop than a 5' small frame person. Also, weight is a more significant issue than "inches". You can get ultra laptops that have more "inches" in screen size, but less inches in thickness, thus decreasing the weight.
