You're right! My meter says that the power adaptor draws this much power
when the battery is fully charged:
- macbook pro 13" (circa 2010). 10W idling (with screen, wireless turned on
but at minimum brightness and with excellent reception). 22W with one core
at 100% (doing a while (1) {} loop). 26W with both cores at 100%.
- kurobox (aforementioned 266mhz ppc, with 5yr old desktop hdd). 18W idling.
19W doing the while loop.
I wouldn't quibble over a few W, so if my netbook has similar power
consumption, it'd make sense to use it instead.
