Hi Chris, Nobody in the hardware industry publishes numbers doing the kinds of active power management techniques you use like suspend and keep the image in DCON - aside from maybe ebook readers. OLPC is up against crap stuff like the Classmate which don't have anything like that but can have a similar usage to common laptops. To avoid further scrutiny from the media (like: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13512_3-9766574-23.html ), it would probably be better to forget the whole suspend techniques all at once. Maybe it would be better to measure and quote a regular usage time, which would be +- 3 hours on an XO-1 and 8 hours on ebook mode?
