Yet another 13" laptop recommendation request

Junior Member
Sorry for yet another 13" laptop question. I've looked through the posts and didn't see one quite the same as mine. I'm looking for a laptop that will mostly be used while traveling and the occasional use while being a couch-potato. I don't really need great graphic abilities as long as it runs youtube, hulu, HD content well enough. Would ideally like to have HDMI out so that I can sometime hook up to a larger tv/screen. Budget is under $1000, obviously the lower the better 😛. Anything more expensive and I would probably just consider the Dell XPS 13. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

requirements:
<$1000
duo core processor
LED screen
windows 7
HDMI out
able to play youtube, hulu, etc full screen
integrated card reader
long battery life
the smaller the form factor the better obviously
 
Thanks for the responses so far. Yeah after some reading I'm mostly looking at the Acer Timeline series (3810 or 8371), Lenovo U350, or ASUS UL30 series. Any thoughts on the pros/cons of each would be really appreciated. Thanks!

I would suggest looking up some of the reviews on those notebooks over at NotebookReview.com to get a better idea of the pros/cons of each of those.
