T4x Power Consumption thread

#1 Post by K. Eng » Tue Apr 12, 2005 7:51 pm

I am curious to see the battery power consumption figures on various T4x machines.

My settings:
Screen Brightness Setting: Normal, 7 bars (slightly dimmer than High, 7 bars)
Wireless Settings: 802.11g connection set to max power saving
CPU speed: Locked at 600 MHz
Thinklight: Off
HDD Activity: Minimal

Power use range is between 13.01 Watts and 14.5 Watts depending on network and drive usage. Typical is about 13.5 to 13.6 Watts. This translates to a bit over 3.5 hours of use on a standard 48 Watt*Hr battery.
Homebuilt PC: AMD Athlon XP (Barton) @ 1.47 GHz; nForce2 Ultra; 1GB RAM; 80GB HDD @ 7200RPM; ATI Radeon 9600; Integrated everything else!
