So, I just got a shiny new laptop and I have been trying to extend my battery usage. I read lots of wiki pages and some forum posts and applied a bunch of things.
If I charge my comp to 100%, take out the power cord then restart I get 17.5W (powertop).
Now, lets say I charge my computer, restart, then take out the power cord I get to 14.2W (powertop).
Any reason or explanation for that?
