Pulling 0,5 Watts in OFF-State while being plugged into a plug? Actually that's 25% of the XO-1(OLPC) energy consumption being switched on! Pity…

OK, let's get into the specs:

The battery has 5Ah and with the tabledata you get the following theoretical values:

  • WIFI OFF: 5/1.8 = 2.8 hours. So approx. 2.5 hours runtime (Don't forget workload!)
  • WIFI OFF + 30% LCD : 5/1.6 = 3.125 h So approx. 3 hours runtime
  • WIFI OFF, LCD OFF: 5/1.4 = 3.6 h So approx. 3.5 hours time I guess…

I don't have the gdium, yet. But I'll post my 'real' results! Post yours!— Roland Siegbert 2009/03/03 02:19
