    i guess my computer is a bigger drain on power, i leave it on 24/7. it takesa time to boot up, that is my excuse of leaving it on.

    I too hate long start up times, so now I put mine on standby (and have set my power button to put it into standby). The charge it uses in this mode is a trickle, and starts back up in seconds
