Looking for a new netbook

[Shad]

I've got an Asus Eee PC 1018P at the moment which has been great, but I need something that will run just a bit faster and happily cope with H.264 at 720p and 1080p. I chuck it in my ruck sack and use the machine for Visual Studio and Photoshop while I'm not at home so please don't suggest a tablet or a larger device, the 10" netbook is the perfect form factor for me

Anyway, the new (ish) N2800 chipsets look good with 4Gb memory support and hardware video decoding. But after having a look around, the Asus 1025C[E] only comes with 1Gb ram and isn't exactly easy to upgrade, and the HP Mini 210 looks to fit the bill especially with the optional 1366x768 display, but that display doesn't seem to be available on the UK models (which is daft).

The other thing I'd really like is an SSD since the mechanical HDD in my current Asus is one of the slowest things about it. But I can't find any netbooks with an SSD at the moment.

So - any suggestions?

I'd prefer a 10" but 11.6" isn't out of the question. But the quoted 4 hours battery life on that Inferno is I'm afraid!

Thanks zenf1, really helpful

What did you go for?

Acer Travelmate B113 - can't find anywhere that stocks it at the moment, plus as you say the 4 cell is probably a bit limiting.

Acer Aspire V5-171 - damn those glossy screens! Got one on my Asus and it's impossible sometimes

Lenovo x121e - omg Lenovo prices!! £700+?!?!! Most shops seem to keep the lower spec variants

HP DM1 (specifically the HP Pavilion dm1-4175sa) - I like it! Great spec, sensible price, will look into whether or not I can fit an SSD but it looks quite promising
