    300W per hour surfing the internet? You have poor old hardware then. LED's do conserve power, but why pay so much for one when you can get a regular LED from a non-Apple company for much cheaper. Smaller boards? Most laptop mobo's are small, because there uh, laptops. If I recall, most Macbook Pros with Aluminum body seem to get rather hot as if the "amazing" cooling ability doesn't work correctly. Slot-loading drives have less moving parts? Funny, that for my laptop, I push the button it pops out, I put cd on, close, disc spins over laser. Slot-loading drives have an arm that moves mechanically to grab a disc to pull into the reading position, then grabs it again to push out for ejection, seems like a lot more moving parts to me.

    Anything else?

    Idling my computer uses 120 watts and I have a quad core processor, 4GB RAM, and a GTS 250 (haven't tested it with the gtx 460 yet.) and under load it uses 210 watts.

    That's not much power at all...
