my netbook came with 6cell. At the time they were claiming 7hrs which I knew was not gonna happen.
It came with Xp home, with wifi on I get about 4-4 1/2 hours.

I have one of the first generation acer aspire one and its time to upgrade that to a newer netbook. It was great for a while but the keyboard started getting smaller as well as the screen. It was a 9" model with 160GB drive. The solid state drives are nice and fast but space was an issue when running XP
Most of the models out there are pretty good nowadays. I would reccommend getting one with at least 2 gb, Win 7, 10" or bigger screen, and by all means a 6-cell or larger battery. You can install mac os on the dells. Ive read it works great

gotta be careful w/ hackintosh
the latest snow leopard update removes support for atom processor based netbooks so you'd need to avoid that update
i do hear that dell's are relatively easy to convert and run mac os

I pulled the trigger on this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ima...=273V8DJNJZHID
HP Mini 110-1109NR 10.1-Inch
HP has 6 cell batteries on sale, that plus a coupon, plus Bing cash back and I got a good netbook + 2 batteries
looks like Amazon is clearing out their stock of XP netbooks. prices are starting to dip under $300 for a few models & brands

i'd convert mine, but everything i own is windows so having a single mac os machine (without a dvd drive for that matter) would be a little weird
but it's white so it looks macish, right?
