For an ultraportable like this, battery life seems to be the most important thing. I'd like to see the methodology used under their BatteryEater Pro benchmark. If I'm reading the article right, it looks like a peg the CPU at load benchmark. I'm a much bigger fan of real world usage scenarios, which other review sites like Anandtech use for their battery life tests. (I'd also like to see battery life figures under a default load of Ubuntu.)

Aha, Anandtech reviewed another Fusion netbook, the HP dm1z: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4187/hp-dm1z-taking-fusion-on-...

Battery Eater Pro taxes the CPU and GPU blocks slightly and continuously. It doesn't peg anything just keeps the machine working moderately and not idle. It's a little more strenuous than web browsing but not much more.
