Sony VAIO VPC-W111XX/P 10.1-Inch Pink Netbook - 2.5+ Hour Battery Life
this netbook is definitely something we purchased for plenty of reasons. one was cause its a Sony. Secondly it works well over wireless with the playstation and the screen size and resolution is far superior than other netbooks on the market.

it’s definitely more expensive than the other netbooks but its definitely worth it!!!

Acer AO532h-2223 10.1-Inch Matrix Silver Netbook - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life Review

Acer AO532h-2223 10.1-Inch Matrix Silver Netbook - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life
I ordered a blue Acer 532h netbook to travel with and that is what I doing with it right now. It works pretty well and it seems to be holding up against the gentle rigors of my easy paced travel. First, the dorky stuff.

Yes, the keyboard is small and it does take getting used to.

Yes, the glossy exterior doesn’t hide any finger prints.

Yes, the battery does last between 6 and 8 hours.

Gateway LT2118u 10.1-Inch Red Netbook - Over 10 Hours of Battery Life Review

Gateway LT2118u 10.1-Inch Red Netbook - Over 10 Hours of Battery Life
I looked at a Gateway because of one my wife has. She has a Gateway laptop that is now 5 years old (bought 2.20.05) and works perfect. For the past three years it has been on 6-8 hours EVERY night, as she streams internet radio while sleeping. It is used for basic email, internet,etc for perhaps 30 minutes a day. It still has the install of XP on it that it came with. The battery of course is about gone, but otherwise it is still perfect. Amazing!..

Samsung GO N310-13GO 10.1-Inch Sunset Orange Netbook - 9 Hour Battery Life Review

Samsung GO N310-13GO 10.1-Inch Sunset Orange Netbook - 9 Hour Battery Life
I’ve had the GO for about a month now and couldn’t be more pleased with it. It does what I want and expect it to do AND it’s small enough I can carry it to work in my lunch box if I want.
After clearing out or cleaning up some of the minimal pre-loaded software and downloading a couple of free-ware programs to help keep things in order, it has run flawlessly. At work, I wake it up, it powers up in just a few seconds, instantly recognizes the wireless connection and patiently waits for me to do whatever. Have not had any issues with the smaller keyboard, navigation (although a wireless mouse would probably make it easier for some folks), or the display. Battery life has been phenomenol. Right out of the box I tried to run the battery all the way down but after 2 days still over 20% remaining. Now at the end of the day I usually still have over 80% remaining.
I’m not going to hang a lot of accessories on this netbook because I want it to remain portable to the max. I am however thinking of getting a Bluetooth GPS unit for it to use on trips and such. Right now, for the programs I want installed (my planner, financial, word processing, and a couple of specialized programs), the stock memory is more than enough. I use a USB thumbdrive to transfer stuff to another computer if I need to.
So, overall a great little machine in my opinion. Looks good, solidly built from what I can tell, and it does what it is supposed to do.
I will also add that Amazon has been great through the whole process - ordering, shipping, tracking, etc, so thanks to them.

Samsung N130-13B 10.1-Inch Slate Blue Netbook - Up to 6.2 Hours of Battery Life Review

Samsung N130-13B 10.1-Inch Slate Blue Netbook - Up to 6.2 Hours of Battery Life
Got this netbook from Amazon for a great deal @ 265. Upgrade the Memory to 2G and am very happy with it. However, there are couple of items I do not like about this netbook.

#1) The Trackpad is hard to work with sometimes. It zoom in or zoom out by itself.

#2) I hate the hibernation setting. Turn it off!

#3) The recovery setup could eat up half of your HD.

#4) No hard copy user guide.

Gateway LT2115u 10.1-Inch White Netbook - Over 10 Hours of Battery Life Review

Gateway LT2115u 10.1-Inch White Netbook - Over 10 Hours of Battery Life
My wife and I have been looking for a light netbook with a fashion design for a while, and finally located this one. We got her about three days ago and started to love her. The overall design is eye-catching. We can easily fit her in my wife’s bag. The battery can last at least 6-7 hours when we are doing word processing or browsing. If we are just reading a book, the battery icon says it can go more than 10 hours. Typing is comfortable, both with my large hands and my wife’s small hands. The screen is bright with large viewing angle. The CPU speed is ok. Sometimes we had to wait a couple of seconds after starting the browser before being able to type the address. This is not a big deal to us. I have uninstalled most of the blowware, and installed office 2003 and a bunch of softwares that we normally use. 160 GB hard disk is enough. 1 GB memory is good for our use case, mainly word processing and browsing internet.
