what is the power consumption? How about for the 4" version?
1068938
The 4" version in 12V has a 4.3 amp Draw and requires a 7amp fuse. The 3" version in 12V has a 2.9 Draw and requires a 4 amp fuse.

Didn't draw much power. Very quit and powerful. Gone through the cheaper ones this one works very good

Not sure of the amp draw but it does not phase the UTV which I put it on for the intake of the CVT at all.

Saul, I do the same thing, I game heavily, and use it in class. I keep the settings light weight for on battery, ramp to 100% on power. This means I do not game while on battery. While in class using word, power point, Firefox on wireless, downloading and uploading schoolwork and having several tabs in FF open at the same time I get around 4 hours off of a full charge. I'm actually very impressed I was expecting at most 2 hours under that load. But the ssd and smart power management really makes a difference. Hope this helps!

Hi - Yes, I should have posted that I also found out the 1011 is indeed the 10v. How many hours does the 3 cell last - does anyone know?In any case, I checked out the 1011 at Microcenter (hands-on), and found it to be a sturdy little number but they were selling it for $334 and were sold out. That's why when I found it here for $299 I thought it was a good deal. I would probably upgrade the memory to 2 G via Crucial. I think it sells for around $50.

Battery is fine, depends on your activity (Mail, internet or... Final Cut Pro). For me (mail & internet) is about 4h.For the rest no problems at all.

It´s no more than 4.5 hrs. I looked at the customers reviews before I buy it so I knew the battery life had not the best average. But I´m still very happy with my purchase, its a great laptop.

Greetings,Great question!Your power consumption will definitely vary depending on the components you install. A good starting point for a basic configuration (65W TDP CPU, A couple of hard drives) will be around 100W. Make sure you check the power requirements of any large components you decide to add (e.g., video card).Best regards,MITXPC

I have no idea what the power consumption is, but I've daisy chained 2 units before with FireWire 800 and it's been fine, works great.

Battery life is great! I get about 3+ hours of basic use (browsing, etc) and about 1.75-2 hours using photoshop, light gaming, etc. if you manually specify most programs to use the intel graphics it lasts quite a while more than the nvidia graphics, but you'll always trade power for speed. Overall it's a great setup and I've thoroughly enjoyed mine for both work (photographer) and play (gamer).

I get extended performance as well, due primarily to the LED screen and solid-state hard drive, both of which require less from the battery than conventional LCD screens and regular hard drives. Power consumption will increase with peripherals (external hard drive), increasing the screen brightness, not using energy saving methods (like turning the screen down/off after a period of inactivity).

Ive never burned the battery all the way down but I have done 2 1/2 hrs of 3D gaming on a single charge, so u should get a few hrs of web browsing and other minimally power intensive activities. (hope that helps)

I've been using my Eee Slate 4gb/64g version since the end of Jan. I can get 4-4.5hrs easy on battery in power saving mode with the screen dimmed, and at it's lowest setting its quite bright and clear. This is no noticable lag, only glass effects are turnedoff in power saving mode. I did this yestuday while in a meeting, running excel, ie8 or or ie9, and an X-server (cygwin) using wireless and keyboard/mouse. The latest service pack (Win7 sp1) stopped the fans from running too.

Depends. High performance depletes the battery in a solid hour and a half while I was playing elder scrolls online. Should be a few hours if you're just browsing the Internet.

I run CS 4 on it without a problem. When I try running programs that are more graphically intensive, it gets hot and the battery life is greatly reduced. It's not a high powered GPU. All that said, it's been a solid laptop. I've been pleased.

I think that the cooling system is pretty efficient, a little noisy, but makes the work. I work with virtual machines, that demand performance without problem. The battery life is acceptable in this conditions too (2.30 hr using the processor and disk continuosly)

Hi,Resolution is 1600x900. Frankly for 15 inch and the power this laptop has, this is enough. More pixels and 3D apps will probably lag.Battery is about 4-5 hours in web surfing. Given the fact that to preserve the battery cycles it charges it to 80% (this can be disabled to charge to 100%). In full battery will relatively low brightness you can get 5-6 hours web surfing or working (mostly 5). Gaming about 2 hours, 2.5.

I can't give you an exact amount but the unit must be plugged into a POWERED USB port and not a regular usb port. Therefore, there would be some minimal battery drain. It is well worth it tho, as I can hear "things" from the computer so much better now.
