actually, for an avg. laptop, 100 watts is a maximum, but because of heat losses, we can assume that power consumption value. of course, in reality, enemalta's electricity cost is not really linear (you can't actually use simple proportion to calculate the total cost), but if your arithmetic is right, since eur0.23 is small, it should be quite within those lines. by the way, that's why beer costs more at irrera, so you can use their 'facilities' ;)
