You can get an Asus EEEPC with an 80 GB hard drive. A colleague has one, and reckons battery life on hers is in the area of 4 - 5 hours. Mind you, that's without running JAWS.

Its a mobile PC like we're discussing here but the hard drive is flash based. It only has a 4 or 8 GB drive depending on model but you can use SD cards to boost this. This makes it quieter and the battery life is over 3 hours, I'm sure I heard 3.5.
