[QUOTE="Kokopelli, post: 192251"] The stock power supply for a powerbook is a 65W [i]peak[/k] powersupply. What is the wattage in the lightbulb at your desk? While even at 195 Watts you are spending far more on your Refrigerator (500W) anf your Television (300W for a large one). This does not even touch an electrical stove in use everyday, or Air Conditioning. Do not use lights except when needed or use lower wattage Light Bulbs and you would likely save more money than it costs to run your computer 24/7. Putting your computer to sleep to conserve energy is admirable, but it is a minor shift compared to other things that can be done in my opinion. (Cooling our beloved heat generators IS potentially costly though.) Somewhat related reading: [url]http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/review/kill_a_watt_electric_usage_monitor_review[/url][/i] [/QUOTE]
