MSI Wind PC Dissection and Power Consumption Test
Power consumption

Published on Wednesday, May 28 2008 1:21 pm by VRArchiver

Filed under: Archives, Mobile Computing, Reviews

We've managed to do some power consumption tests using our trusty Power Meter.

Power Consumption Figures without battery	Idle	Load
Minimum Brightness (0%)	9.8W	17W
Medium Brightness (50%)	11W	18W
Maximum Brightness (100%)	12.6W	19.4W

Maximum power draw occurs during full load with maximum brightness and battery charging, where 32W of power is drawn.

The review unit that was delivered to us came with a 3-cell 2200mAh battery which the initial batch of Wind will be equipped with. Subsequently, MSI will be rolling out a 6-cell battery (4400mAh) which promises up to 5.5 hours of battery life. From our tests, the Wind will last an approximate 1 hour 15 minutes at constant full load an and approximate 2 hours and 15 minutes under normal usage conditions.

Meanwhile, you guys can ogle at the Wind while our mouth stays shut on performance figures, while we're under NDA. =X Enjoy!
