One should never compare a laptop or similar architecture with a note taker.
These different devices have completely different hardware and completely
different power needs; not to mention very different battery capacities.
This also applies to some extent with comparisons between laptops and
netbooks.

Subject: Re: Screen Curtain a battery saver, but effective?
While not having done as much extensive research as Neil, grin, my brother,
who is sighted, says that the screen curtain effectively shuts off the
display, while still making it sensitive to touch, so, the less amount of
light being emitted by the cell phone only stands to reason that it would
save battery life.
Having said that, it's been my experience that my battery drops more quickly
when my screen curtain is off doing the exact same thing, as when the screen
curtain is on, so I guess in this respect, the research I did was
experiential. Smiles.
One can even take this a bit further using a laptop as an effective means of
understanding the concept.
If one puts a laptop side to side with a screen-less note taker, one finds
that the note taker uses up it's battery life a great deal longer than the
laptop. Even if using a laptop compared to a netbook, especially those
utilizing a solid state hard drive, the smaller screen means less in the way
of power needed to form the picture on the screen, especially comparing the
17 inch screen laptop to the minute 7 to 11 inch netbook screens.
In conclusion, the less power you need to run something, the more battery
life you'll save. At least that's been my experience.
