We might be able to talk when they start shipping SoC variants, but I highly doubt it.
I have a Clevo TN70M with Poulsbo aka US15W chips and I agree with you that when idle, the N800 has a longer battery life, but watching movies, music of streaming the Clevo it lasts longer than the N800. On average it lasts 4 to 5 hours independent of the usage, while the N800 will manage barely 2 hours playing Wesnoth.

Ofcoaurse, the HW is not the same. The Clevo has a 7" screen and a 4 cell battery, but the power consumption is rather good in heavy usage.
