On a Thinkpad T530 (= similar hardware except for 14" --> 15.4" screen)
running 6.5-stable (amd64), also with WiFi active and the system sitting
idle at a GUI, I see a power draw of ~20W/10W with the screen at max/min
brightness, so overall very similar to what Dave Trudgian sees. I've
never tried a non-OpenBSD OS on this hardware.
