Title: The, They don't make them like they used to thread..
Post by: tp4tissue on Wed, 15 April 2015, 05:23:45

I tested this on my x220 laptop..

high performance mode.

battery-removed..

OCCT power test-- 11.67-12.5 frames per second, both tests, steady state 15mins test.


Old 2006 AC adapter (90watt),  53.5 watts @ the wall

Old 2009 AC adapter (90watt), 55.0 watts @ the wall

New 2013 AC adapter (90watt), 58.0 watts @ the wall


So the OLDER 2006 adapter is roughly 8% more efficient than the NEW 2013 adapters.

Clearly we're seeing a trend here.. the slow decline in Lenovo parts quality.

And on a side note
The OLDER Model F keyboard is roughly 8% more efficient than the NEWER Model M keyboards.  ;D

Cars. always funny having people complain about how new cars are so much flimsier and old cars were like tanks. Sure, tanks that could impale you on the steering column.
