Although the g7-2007sg is quite powerful, the notebook is very frugal while idling and only consumes between 10.4 and 12.3 watts - a result almost identical to the model with the AMDs Trinity-APU A10-4600M. Even compared to other large multimedia notebooks like the Dell Inspiron 17R-SE , the laptop does well here. Acer UM09H41
The 3DMark 06 result (which we will use here in place of 3D games) is quite surprising, as it comes in at a really low 44 watts. Only when we subject the processor and the graphics card to maximum load, we start pushing the power adapter (90 watts) to its limit - we recorded up to 86.6 watts. The aforementioned throttling keeps things under control and reduces power consumption to between 60 and 70 watts intermittently. Acer BATCL32


Since the power consumption is very close to results the AMD models posted, we expected the Intel version of the Pavilion g7 to score almost the same. Acer BATCL32L
Think again: Instead of lasting 8 hours, the notebook shuts down after 5 hours and 38 minutes in our Battery Eater Readers Test (WLAN and GPU turned off, power saver profile, display brightness turned all the way down). We can't really explain the result, but unfortunately we don't have access to the AMD test systems to figure why the results are so different. Acer BTP-63D1
While surfing via WLAN (GPU turned off, power saver profile, display brightness of 150 cd/mē), the notebook reached a decent 3 hours and 53 minutes. This test (a script that opens different websites and HD videos every 40 seconds) is more realistic than the scenario described above. Acer BTP-96H1
