That is the thing, how energy efficient are they if they cost so much initially, it’s the same with many more efficient appliances. Is it actually better to stick with the old appliance until the very end?

The Gateway has lots of good reviews, but as an Apple fan I want to point out that the newer Macbooks are also very energy efficient with a 7 hour battery life, but alas more expensive at $1000.

Our new laptop uses 65 watts. But also, compared to the old one the battery capacity is much longer. It goes hours within needing to be charged, the old laptop, even with a new battery was never very efficient.

Looks like a great setup. I have a question. Is the power consumption wattage equal or less than your old laptop? I would think that with the modern processors being more efficient it would be about the same.
I have two IBM ThinkPads, one Pentium III and one Pentium IV and they both utilize a 16volt 4.5 amp power adapter. (72watts)
