1) I think it's a toss-up between the high-powered tiny Sony model or the original Asus Eee 7" model. Huge difference in performance, though.

2) ~11 hrs seems to be the highest quoted right now (variety of netbooks). However, that's in lab conditions.

You didn't ask the right Q (IMO) and that's which notebook/netbook works best for what you're going to do with it.

If price doesn't matter, go with the business ultra-portables. Just as tiny as the netbooks but fully featured. Myself, I'd go with either the Lenovo X series or the Toshiba Portege (R) series. This Tosh has a built-in DVD player.
