LCD on the Wall, Which Netbook Battery Lasts the Longest of Them All?

On the hunt for a travel netbook? After testing out early models with squished keyboards I decided to wait for a model with useable size and 10" seems to be about perfect. I originally thought I wanted a fully loaded netbook until I realized that wasn't the point. Netbooks are not intended to replace laptops. They are intended to be ultra portable with prices making them nearly disposable. Netbooks are perfect travel companions for photographers who need to dump the days pictures onto a backup external hard drive and review images on a screen larger than the thumbnail preview on the back of their camera.

Since a unit's size is an important feature, how much juice can you realistically expect from the form factor? Find the list of which models last the longest after the jump.
