One more: This my main system, in use for 8+ hours daily (and in-suspend the rest of the time), so power usage here really matters. Dell Inspiron 9400 "notebook", Core2Duo 2.1GHz, 3GB DDR2, 160GB 2.5" 7200rpm SATA, DVD-RW, ATI X1400 graphics card w/256MB, 17" backlit LCD, external bus-powered USB2 hub & mouse.
Full-off measures .01 amps @ 120V, roughly 1W.
Suspended-to-RAM measures .021 amps @ 120V, roughly 2.5W.
Steady idle-state gives 0.26 amps @ 120V, roughly 31W.
Full load(*) gives 0.51 amps @ 120V, roughly 61W.
(*) Both CPUs 100% busy, hard disk 100% busy, mouse moving windows rapidly around the screen, battery fully charged.
Numbers for this system include the display, whereas the two systems reported on earlier were sans display.
Cheers
