I believe that not only does it have an older (900 MHz) processor which requires less juice, it also is slightly underclocked in the RAM area.
 
I still haven't decided if I want to get one.  I found out that my pre-order only allows white, though I requested black.

The Asus Eee PC uses a 7.4V, 5200mAh 4 cell Lithium-ion battery. According to the review done by Hot Hardware ( Review found at http://www.hothardware.com/articles/Asus_Eee_PC_Full_Retail_Review_Showcase/ ) , "The TDP (thermal design power) of the CPU is very low at only 5.5 watts." Also from the same article, "...with roughly 15 Watts draw at idle and 17.5 Watts under load..."
