The numbers should extrapolate well to the T1600. I, too, am curious about how much the hard disk draws. There should be different numbers for "spin-up" versus "steady-state". The 1600 also has screen blanking and turn-off-disk facilities when running off battery, as well as a "cpu sleep" mode. Daniel -- [W]:The Aerospace Corp.
