hi,
Just wondering what is your average wattage reported in Mobmeter and how long can it last when using battery.
Pls refer to my T43 Average Wattage for more info.

The lowest I've seen Mobile meter report on my Thinkpad is
14.4x watts. Wifi on, BT off. CPU on adaptive. Brightness at lvl 0. Optical drive, IR, and Cardbus disabled. This is what happens when I have MS One Note open just typing away with Winamp running, I might be reading a big PDF (so it's all loaded to memory).
The average is 16-18 watts just surfing around, listening to music, Bittorrent in the background and chatting on MSN. Brightness on lvl 5 everything else same as above.
When it draws around 14.4x - 15.5x watts I can get about 5.5hours out of my system
With the system at 16-18 watts I can get about 4-4.5 hours.
If I add watching DVD I get about 3 hours brightness at 5.
