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..."
