    I gather when you say portable, you mean you want to grab the computer and take it with you to your folks' place for Christmas – not work at airports or present to clients?
    The mini could do, but it is a bit underpowered. I just moved from a 2.0 MacBook to a 2.4 MBP and while the improvement is noticeable, it still could use just a tad more power.
    Open a few dhtml or flash-heavy tabs in FF (ie. youtube) and it starts choking a bit.

    You can try my MB 2.0 for a day or two before I sell it, to get an idea of how much processor power you need, but you need to walk up the hill to my place to pick it up :)
