What Laptop should I buy to pair up with my Evo?

[palmgoog]

I recently upgraded from the palm pre to the Evo and I'm looking to upgrade from my extremely outdated sony vaio vgn-n250e to something new

I'm 16 years old and I mostly use my computer for web browsing. I also go on Hulu, youtube, and other streaming video sites regularly. I don't do any video editing and I only use microsoft word occasionally. I don't care about brands and I'd also consider refurbished laptops. I'm considering both macs and pcs. Portability isn't that important to me but battery life is extremely important. I'd also like something with a screen that isn't netbook size. Appearance and style are also things I'll take into consideration.
Requirements:
1. $250-$800
2. high resolution display for videos
3. long battery life
Have any suggestions?

As a reviewer I have had the opportunity to test quite a few laptops, and I would recommend the Toshiba Port

Don't know if the netbooks would fit your needs. But they are cheap and have great battery life....might be a little small for you video needs.
