Which is better?

I was looking for something which is cheap, portable, and has a good battery life: no need for outstanding performances or stunning displays. It has to last for at least 5 hours.

I get to choose between 2 computers, a netbook and a notebook:
Asus Eee PC 1015CX
- Intel Atom Dual Core N2600
- Intel NM10 chipset
- 2 gigs of DDR3 RAM
- 320gigs SATA HD
- 10.1" display at 1024x600
- 6 cells battery

Asus X201E
- Intel Celeron 847
- Intel HM70 chipset
- 2 Gigs of DDR3 RAM
- 320gigs SATA HD
- 11.6" display with a max resolution of 1366 x 768
- 2 cells battery

They both come with Ubuntu as the default OS and their price is almost the same.
It all comes down to the processor (which one is better?) and battery life (I guess the first one is better, am I wrong?)

After comparing the two processors on various sites for benchmarking tests, the Intel Celeron processor is much faster than the Intel Atom processor so I would personally choose the Asus X201E, if price is basically the same. More "bang for the buck".

Yeah, but what about battery life? Asus promises 8 hours for his 1015CX model, but I can't find any information about the other one, whose battery is way worse! We're talking about a 8 cells battery versus a 2 cells one, and I'm a little worried about the Asus X201E0's battery life
