You are misinterpreting that. That is the display _only_. Not the system power. > in full e-book mode the display unit is the only thing getting power > (radio off, cpu fully suspended) And the EC, the memory, various pull up/down resistors, and few other suspend voltage regulators. All these add up to a non-trivial amount. Claiming that the power draw of the display unit in e-book is the system of draw of the laptop is inaccurate. It will be close if you were to throw up a page and let it sit there and never touch it. But the moment you engage the cpu to flip a page you draw 5-7x more power. The average draw then depends on how may pages you flip. We do not yet have any metrics for what that will work out to be. -- Richard Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> One Laptop Per Child _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
