I have a 17" MacBook Pro laptop. The screen is beautiful and the sleep mode is fantastic.
It really was an expensive computer, but I was looking for something pretty high end for graphics design and video editing.
I was pleasanly suprised by the power-saving features of the computer. The OS is pretty smart about dimming the monitor, sleeping the hard disc, etc.
All that talk about small, powerfriendly computers is interesting. The electric motor controller in my motorcycle is an Alltrax AXE. It has a 9-pin COM port for communicating to a computer.
If I had an energy efficient computer built into my not-yet-created electric car, I could use the computer to monitor amps, volts, etc of the motor.
The software has super-simple minimum requirements other than it must run Windows and have a COM port.
