I have a shuffle, too. I don't use it as much as my regular iPod, but it's great for working out, running, working out in the yard, etc. I love it.
I'm in the process of buying a new laptop right now but I definitely couldn't handle that. I never use the one I have now because the 15" screen drives me bonkers. I'm getting something with a 17". I don't care if it weighs 40 lbs.
