I am looking to buy a new laptop soon for portability and would like some suggestions on the make and model since I have been unable to find what I want. I currently have a netbook that is on the way out and am looking to replace it. The netbook I have is a 10.1 in. screen and am fairly comfortable with that for my useage.
What I am looking to get is probably a 11-13 inch screen laptop with long battery life (6hours plus of real time useage) and reasonable performance (somewhere about the performance of an i3 processor). I would like to have hdmi output, but would be willing to go without it. Preferred hard drive space around 500gb. Although it seems to be unreasonable at this point, I was looking to spend under $800 for the laptop, but any suggestions would be welcomed.
If you know of a laptop build that is close to what I have proposed, please let me know.

2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering? 13" and under or very thin 14"
