A 7in 1024x600 can be as little as 1.5 watts. 9in maybe 2.5. this 15.6in 1366x768, it's very unusuall in that you can run it at only 30hz and thus halve the power consumption of the electronics part (at least), also because it's a lower pixel refresh rate (because there's less pixels, duh) it's also lower power. l. _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list arm-netbook@lists.phcomp.co.uk http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to arm-netb...@files.phcomp.co.uk
