    well using my laptop for about an hour used up 14p and i think the lcd tv uses a fair amount as well im trying things out since the tv n laptop have been off it hasnt moved

    If your laptop used electricity worth 14p in an hour it would literally melt! and burn anything it was touching.

    A typical laptop uses about 30 watts. So it will run for approx 3 hours for 1p(one penny)
