Well, actually I decided against a mini laptop. Now I'm thinking about buying a Lenovo IdeaPad S500. It's still within my price range and it's very light so I think it would be pretty convenient for school. The only thing I don't like is the touch screen, but luckily I don't need to use it. Anyway, the specs of the Lenovo are better than on my current laptop, so I have a feeling that it would run the game fine as long as it runs on Windows 8.
