Hi, this is a litte off topic but might still be of interest to some of you. I just measured the power consumption of my laptop (Asus L2000D aka Medion 9688, Mobile Athlon) in different states: - yes > /dev/null: 57 W - playing a dvd: 55 W - idle (C2 mostly): 44 W - idle without LCD: 42 W - standby (S1, no LCD): 13 W Funny: I got even higher consumption (58 W) when playing a strategy game (port royale) under Windows XP. I did not check the battery status but measured the power consumption at the AC adapter at full battery for several minutes (high consumption) or even hours (low consumption).
