Just teste now on my 1215N


GPU On:
around 1300mA
around 11955mV

this is around 15.5Watts


GPU Off:
around 960mA
around 11955mv

this is around 11.5Watts

4Watts of power, this is a huge power saving :) still not getting into the
8.5Watts that I'm able to get in Windows 7, but this is just a case of
adjusting some power settings I guess.
