Cheapest/lowest power dockable laptop?

Does anyone know of any laptops that are available in cheap, low-power configurations that can be docked to use external monitors and devices? My main priorities are:

- Ability to use 2 external monitors when docked
- 5+ hours battery life, with a battery that doesn't stick out of the laptop's dimensions
- 10-13" widescreen

So far my list starts and ends with the Thinkpad X200s, but it's pretty pricey, starting at about $1000. I'm also not sure it'll get the kind of battery life I'm looking for with the smallest battery option, even using a 7W TDP processor.

Are there any dockable netbooks?
