    Does anyone know how much power a 11.6" and 15.4" screen draw?

    Let's say at average brightness or maximum brightness.

    I mean depends on how the screen is lit (LED vs CCFL)

    Do you have specific notebook models or are you talking in general?

    I, too would like this information (mainly because it concerns the "not enough POWA throttling on the XPS 16 series). Lots of resources on "how much does a laptop use" but I don't see much about how outfitting different screens changes the power draw.
