[ltp] buying a new Thinkpad

[Thomas Breitner]

hi,

my tp (t42p, radeon m10) 'drains' about 222 and 276 mW (according to the
thinkwiki-powerdrain-measure-script).
i do not unload any modules on this t42p, don't patch the
linux-source-2.6.18 (debian) but compiled with experimental usb-suspend,
do not shutdown x or any services, use radeonfb and xorg-radeon with
r300-dri.

does anybody knows what value is tolerable / 'designed' for suspend to
ram?

greetings,
thomas
