    Even with the same SSD and same battery, if that were possible, the U115 can't achieve the battery life of the U115, since the U115 uses a "Silverthorne" (Z530) CPU and the Paulsbo (US15W) "hub" chipset, both of which have for lower power consumption than the "Diamondville" (N270) and 945GSE "bridge" chipset of the U100. The total dissipated power of the Z530 is as low as 0.65W, but the N270 is never less than 2.5W. That's one of the reasons the U115 is such an amazing netbook. Atom family
