netbook/notebook owners, need advice on netbook

i've been looking for a netbook for some time now for school and just need some suggestion on which one is the best. All im using the netbook for is for school only so it needs to have good battery life. the one that i've been looking at is the hp mini 2140:http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/hp-mini-2140.aspx
. price im looking for is under 1000 dollars and also if you think theres something better please post

edit: im also looking at sony vaio p which seems nice but its my second choice

$529 is overpriced for a netbook. Look at ASUS eee or MSI Wind with the 6 cell battery. Both can be found for under $500.battledroid978

edit:which one of those 3 company do you recommend?

There are some variations, but basically they're all the same components. They differ where some have bluetooth and some don't. Also, some have wireless-n cards, and some just have wireless b/g. I have a msi wind, and it's does just fine in normal usage such as web surfing and microsoft office. Some of the tube websites tend to start straining the machine especially if they have a lot of ads. HD videos are more than likely off limits unless you do some tweaking.

I would go either with MSI or ASUS. They are both the same as far as I'm concerned.

well i decided to go with the samsung nc10 because of its long battery and others but i cant find it anywhere in canada? So is it only avaliable online or hopefully in some stores.canucks12792

NC10 is a rebrand of the ASUS. The internal components are the same. You'll be fine. Maybe you can find some on NCIX or Newegg.ca?
