Well, energy efficiency is always a bit of a performance vs battery life decision. Although I enjoy the flexibility, I personally wouldn’t want to pay for it by having to use a less bright, smaller screen, less graphics power or similar. About time for a new generation of laptop batteries in my opinion.

Wow. Up to a 5 hour battery life for an ultra efficient laptop. Pretty amazing. It’s nice to see electronics slowly becomming more environmentally friendly. I can’t wait until we have ultra long laptops that last 3-5 days before needing a recharge. Maybe they’ll come out with technology that will wirelessly recharge our machines. Who knows. It’ll take a closely look at the Gateway NV7802u system to see how it looks.

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)
