sweet I don't care about high def - normally I watch em on my zune 120 but for the price of the crappy portable dvd player I got 5 years ago I can get a netbook to store a crap ton of movies, lossless audio and play freecell?? omg. nice.
Now if only they had one with the ability to put the screen down like a tablet I would buy it now!! >.>

The Samsung NC10 (or NC110, the newer variant) is arguably the king of netbooks, with an 8+ hour battery life and really good keyboard. Unfortunately it can be very pricey relative to the other options.
This is the correct answer.samsung nc10,

The dedicated Page Up/Down keys are a huge boon, 'least for me, my Aspire One has virtually the same keyboard layout as the NC10 and I use those keys constantly...
Just got my 1000HE yesterday. With a 2GB RAM upgrade, it's a really nimble little computer. I like the multitouch trackpad too.
Got OSX installed and patched to 10.5.6 too, which is just really cool in a toy kind of way, but sadly the wifi has no OSX drivers yet so usefulness is limited.
Yes, but you have to completely disassemble the netbook to change the wireless card, and I just don't feel like doing that. I expect drivers will be along eventually, as it's a very popular wireless chipset.You could buy a Dell 1390, 1395 or 1490 wifi card and pop it in there. It'll work with OSX natively.

The 1000HE's right shift key is appropriately placed and the multitouch two-finger scroll works on the trackpad, BTW.
I've only had my 1000HE for a day, but from what I've read, once you install all the various kexts for speedstep and have the genericcpucontrol application running (which I do), you end up with around 7.5 hours of usage under OSX. In other words roughly comparable to XP minus maybe 10%. There's no official support for this hardware under OSX, obviously, so you do compromise on battery life a bit.How's battery life under OS X on these netbooks though?
