I have my eyes set on the ASUS Eee PC 1000HE netbook for it's extremely high battery life, but I have a few questions:
1) What are some other netbooks with a comparable 6-cell battery (or better)?
2) Where/what are some good deals on this EEE PC, and other netbooks of the same class?
3) Are there any commercial netbooks out right now with a processor better than the 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N280? If not, how long should I wait for the next gen of better netbooks?

The only other netbook out there with a battery life over 6 is the Samsung nc10. I'm thinking about getting that. As far as the others, I believe a lenovo with a 6-cell bat can also achieve 6+ hours

I came across this for the Lenovo Ideapad S10. I don't know much about netbooks, and don't know if this is a great deal or not.

however many cell'd battery you get, just remember that the advertised # hour duration won't last for more than a year or two.
