I believe most netbooks qualify on those. Not certain about the power consumption part on some running in high performance mode but it shouldn't be too hard to find one. You might want to look into Acer Aspire One line and possibly Eee-pcs - can't remember any other (good) netbook lines just now. The earliest Eee-pcs had some trouble with battery draining even when turned off - but they fixed that quite a while back.
As you can see from the dom3 progress page, next patch, whenever it shall come, will include more compatible resolutions for netbooks.
