Best current model to replace Dell Inspiron 700m?

[bp001]

I bought a Dell Inspiron 700m in 2004 and it was the best notebook I've ever used.

It was the perfect balance of size/weight and performance, battery life, screen resolution, with an excellent keyboard.

Which currently available model (any brand) would be the up-to-date equivalent with the same form factor, ideally with battery life exceeding 8hrs?

Get this one http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115954 it will last about 5.6 to 6 hours with current 6 cell battery, if you upgrade to higher capacity battery you will easily get around 8hours.

Thanks, looks great!
Do you know how I can order it with the 8-cell battery?
Also, is there a way to get it with an SSD?

buy it as default with 6 cell, order another 8 cell battery as a spare and i am not sure about SSD upgrade but you can ask newegg or acer about this
