How many kilowatts does it take to run a laptop?

Look at the power supply or back of any semi-sophisticated electronics device you want to know the kilowatt usage of. It should have one number on it with an "A" next to the number. This is the amperage. Multiply that by 120 (Alternating Current) and you have the wattage. Divide by 1000. After that, as you may be able to figure yourself already, if you use that device for one hour then you will be said to be using it for that many kilowatts. Example: I have a 1.5A laptop. (it may even say 1,5A) Multiply by 120. 180 watts Divide by 1000. 0.18 kilowatts If I use my laptop for one hour, it will consume at the most 0.18 kilowatts. It may be less because you do not use 100% of your CPU every second, and there may be power-saving features such as auto-off screen, modem or network card working. The best energy saving feature you can use is the one that turns off the screen, but keep in mind if you use anything like DSL/Cable that device usually has its own power supply and it can be more than a laptop. Also, if you want to do the math to find the cost of running your laptop for one straight month, multiply the kilowatts by 730.5 and then by your local power company's charge for each kilowatt-hour. Mine charges $0.1412, so the laptop would cost $18.56 if it was used at full capacity for approximately 30 days, and just multiplying again by 12 months gives me a yearly maximum of $222.80. You could probably reach that number if you turned off all power-saving features, ran a program that can hammer the processor like a math program using WiFi and/or networking simultaneously. If you have free time to burn, I recommend going to SETI@home and have your computer join the search for possible life beyond our world.

Are laptops cheaper to own than computers?

Well, for one thing, laptops are basically computers. They can compute like, what I'm guessing you're referring to, desktop computers. However, Desktop computers are actually cheaper to own that laptops, if you look at a comparison of price to performance. So in a sense, you get more bang for your buck with desktop computers as compared to laptops. If you're looking at matinence costs, etc., then it would still be cheaper to own a desktop pc. Laptops have a much higher chance of getting broken that desktop computers, and of course, data theft is a large problem with laptops if you accidentally leave yours in an airport or other public place.

It is lightweight and compact compared to a conventional desktop computer and can be carried around. Built in re-chargeable battery allows it to work without connection to AC power for some time (up to few hours based on charge in the battery and functions running on the computer). Laptop computers include an LCD/TFT screen of generally more than 10 inches to up to 17 inches in diagonal size. Laptops are slowly becoming more powerful in terms of processing power and features and are catching up with desktop computers. In some markets these days laptops outsell the desktop computers. Biggest laptop vendors include Dell, Toshiba, HP/Compaq, Apple, Sony, Lenovo and Gateway.

Where is the BIOS battery located in an HP Pavilion dv6-1243cl?

It is on the motherboard on the bottom side of where the CD drive is located, on the right to the edge closest to the user. You have to strip down the computer. It is a small wafer about the size of the tip of your little finger. There are two prongs from the battery to the motherborad. It is covered by a translucent piece of yellow plastic stick on. It is soilderd to the board.

I removed the battery, ran two wire into the modem bay, and reattached it there for ease of maintenance. I can access it easily from there as needed.

If your question is prompted by a need to reset the bios password, battery removal is not the solution.

Do i need a 13 or 15 inch laptop screen?

It depends on what you plan to use it for. Assuming you hold everything else constant (processor, RAM, video card, etc.) a smaller screen will net you lighter weight and longer battery life (less screen area = less power needed to fuel it), but it will cost you screen size (obviously). If you plan to be very mobile with the laptop (taking it to classes, coffee shops, meetings, etc.) then the lighter weight and longer battery life will probably be worth more to you than the extra screen space. If the laptop is likely to spend most of it's time in the same location and plugged in, then you won't notice the loss of battery life and added weight, but you will appreciate the extra screen area when (which is especially nice if you plan to do any serious amount of gaming/video watching with it).

In short, if you plan to use it on the go, go for the 14". If you plan to use it mostly as a desktop replacement, go for the 15".

This question is too general, not enough detail to determine the cause.
