It's also a bit more difficult to find one with the 8+ hour battery life. Most of those fall under net-top or ultraportable laptops, all of which are out of your budget range.

No actually its very easy to find a netbook with everything you want.. besides the optical dirve which doesn't exist in netbooks..

Just bought one for my girlfriend and it's an amazing little piece of equipment and would recommend it to anyone looking for a device of the sort.

I've believe many netbook have a long lasting battery life. It's just which netbook to choose from.
Anyone recommend Dell Mini 10v? I asked a few of my buddies and was wondering if the forum has any feedback for it.

Thanks
