Yeah, 7lbs is pretty heavy these days. Mind you, I lugged around a 13lbs monstrosity for a semester and I can tell you that stairs really start to suck after awhile.
Be sure to turn off bluetooth when you get it... that will help boost battery life some.
As far as weight goes, I went from 10 pounds down to 4 and the lower weight did make a considerable difference considering you'll probably be carrying around another 5 pounds of gear on top of everything else you'd normally have (bookbag, textbooks, etc).
Make sure to get a nice bag for whatever you get and don't toss other shit into the laptop's compartment.
