On average it lasts 4 to 5 hours independent of the usage, while the N800 will manage barely 2 hours playing Wesnoth.
Still nowhere near as good as ARM chips, though, especially at idle.
We might be able to talk when they start shipping SoC variants, but I highly doubt it.
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.

That's on 3-year-old tech, by the way. Just wait until the OMAP3 tablet is out.
