I'm using and Asus EeePC 1000H as my laptop, running Ubuntu with DWM. It's pretty useable as a regular laptop as the keyboard is about 90% the size of a standard keyboard. The only real problem I've had with it is the location of the right shift key (it's to the right of the up-arrow key). It's pretty powerful for a netbook but still much smaller than a typical laptop. The battery life is around 3.5-4 hours on linux.
