    measurements done with batterybar pro Osiris Development - BatteryBar, the most accurate battery meter for Windows
    I left it running a min or so for the W to stabilize

    I'm using a vaio Z (not vpc) with a p8400

    powersave mode + intel graphics + wifi + lowest brightness
    on IDLE - ~14W
    play 720p mkv with DXVA - ~22W
    play 720p mkv without DXVA - ~18

    I think these are a bit high, so please post your scores too.
