    Hi,

    Every spec sheet I've read states that Instant Mode consumes more power than when running Windows. Has anyone tried playing DVDs in Instant Mode and did they notice a big difference as compared to doing this in Windows?

    I guess I can test this when I get my laptop tomorrow :D but wondered if anyone had already done so.

    Thanks.
