This page reports the minimal consumptions of Thinkpads when idle. This means, in principle: minimum brightness, CPU and GPU at lowest speed, no wifi, hard drive spun down, no pcmcia cards inserted (see details of each entry).
This kind of information has several uses: comparing one's consumption with other that of other people's setups, knowing which model to use as a gateway/file server, etc.
| Model | OS | Remarks | consumption | 
|---|---|---|---|
| 600E PIII/450 | Archlinux 0.8/xfce | 9W | |
| T41p | Ubuntu 7.04 | Undervolted, fglrx, no dri | 8.3W | 
| T43 (1871) | Debian (Linux 2.6.21, fluxbox) | DRI, alsa (power_save=1), with usb, no networking | 10.1W (12.0W with HD) | 
| T43 (2669) | Gentoo (2.6.20-gentoo-r5) | Undervolted, fglrx (powerstate=1), DRI, no alsa, no usb modules, no networking | 12.7W |
