Modern laptops are quite power hungry, my Compaq is upto 65w.
Whilst I realise that this is a maximum that the power unit can supply and the average power is less than that, mine averages about 45w so even if I have a 12v to 19v charger, it still uses up to 5-6 A to charge.
I have used an Old Asus EEEPC on many travels, as it only uses solid state memory, the power consumption is much less, aslo a small screen helps.
I know solid state disks have been around for a few years, but are there any sensibly priced PCs around that use them??
My Asus is great for taking on a plane as it weighs so little and all I need is for Internet access, but the limited screen is an issue.
I'm always worried about the hard drive on my big PC quiting.
So, where is the world up to in low power, no moving parts PC's??? or is it that smart phones rule?
