I'm looking for a netbook to do some dotnet development. Is there a recommended brand/configuration. I'm looking for reasonably good performance. Here are some of my requirements:

Win 7 ultimate
MS Office
VS 2008 and VS 2010 when it's out
CodeRush
good size keyboard without having to do a Fn+Key for Insert, Home, End and Del keys
Preferably Core 2 Duo
Decent battery life

P.S. The config of the netbook handed out at PDC seems pretty awesome.
