Hopes for $1k (it shouldn't be more, should it?), budget is up to $2k.
UK or USA (I could ask a friend to bring me one easily).
Size: I need a workable keyboard, that's all. As mentioned in description, there are 2 requirements: battery life and weight. In practice, I feel comfortable enough with 11'.
I don't like Macs for many reasons, one of which is I can't change its battery.
- caw 15y agoYou could try looking for a larger netbook, those had fairly decent battery life, and you could trade out batteries. However, the screen probably won't be as nice. You could also look at Ultrabooks (similar to the Air), but they'll have the same problem of changing batteries.

- motiejus 15y agoBoth battery slice and 9 cell battery exceeds the desired weight. With 6 cells you get somewhere around 7-8 hours if you are lucky. I know this laptop, but looking for better options.
- ukd1 15y agoYou will get more than 8 hours with just the 9 cell, which will bring it to under your weight - http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=98466 http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=98466 You don't need the 9 cell as well as the plate - it was just a suggestion if you needed more.

- gte910h 15y agoone of which is I can't change its battery<= They are user serviceable on the macs, just not externally so. It's not like the iPhone.
