Lithium does indeed have more energy per unit mass than NIMH (about twice as much IIRC, largely because the cell voltage is more than twice as much). So the point presumably is that for similar Wh numbers the OLPC must have a lot more battery mass in it, which explains how the Vaio fits a lot more functionality into the same weight spec.
