[LUG] Ultra Mobile Laptop Power Rating Research

 

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I'm doing a little bit of research into the power consumption ratings on
the power supplies for different makes and models of Ultra Mobile
Laptops (Acer Aspire One's, Asus Eee's etc).

I have a Aspire One (Model ZG5) which according to the power supply is
rated  19V 1.58A  = 30.02 Watts. It got me thinking that 30Watts still
seemed quite high, although my model does have a 120Gb mini HDD, so I
want to compare different models and configurations.

Therefore could owners of other makes / models please send me their
equivalent ratings (Voltage & Amps, Make, Model, storage type (HDD /
SSD) and size) off list.

This would be much appreciated.

When I have a (more?) complete table I will promise to publish the
results here ;-). Of course this isn't an accurate description of
exactly how much power is drawn in particular circumstances but its
enough information for a rough and ready comparison.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Tom.

PS if you own an Acer (like me) you will need either very good eye
sight, or a strong magnifying glass (in my case) to read the ratings. I
guess Im getting old now ;-)
