(InfoWorld) - Notebook PC users who upgrade to Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Vista may have to disable some of the new operating system's flashy graphics features to avoid seeing a decrease in battery life compared to Windows XP. The drop will come from the extra power needed to run the high-end processors, graphics cards and memory capacity required to support Vista. Microsoft has designed the new OS to deliver novel visual effects such as translucent "Aero" windows on the desktop interface and improved performance as a digital media hub. The business version of the OS was released last month with the consumer version due out next month. PC and hardware vendors see Vista as a windfall because it requires faster, more powerful computers. But just as sport utility vehicles burn more gasoline than sedans, the extra power comes at a price. "Vista demands more compute resources for a given application than XP does. So you need a heavier battery or you will have shorter battery life because of the greater demand for watts," said Phil Hester, chief technology officer of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), in remarks made at the company's annual analyst day in New York on Thursday. Dell Inc. also said that Vista's appetite for computing resources will increase its draw on battery power. "If Vista is run in full Aero mode, with none of the Vista-provided power management settings turned on, it is likely to demand more power, and have an impact on battery life," said Dell spokesman Ira Williams, in an e-mail interview. "That said, if you run Vista in battery-optimized mode (using non-3D interface), we would not expect the battery life to be significantly different from XP in that scenario." A Microsoft spokeswoman confirmed that Vista will allow users to disable or tune down graphics as part of a power management package meant to keep Vista battery life on par with Windows XP. But she said the graphics have a smaller effect on battery life than other hardware in the PC. "Although it is true that the Windows Vista Aero theme and components can use more resources than previous versions of Windows, the relative impact to battery life is minimal," said Microsoft spokeswoman Kristin Farmer. "Microsoft is working with device manufacturers to ensure their device drivers are optimally tuned for performance and power savings. We recognize that battery life isnât just a Microsoft issue and involves our partnerâs decisions as well." Microsoft has designed Vista to allow notebook PC users to save battery power by turning down the screen brightness, volume, wireless networking and other attributes, according to the company's Web site. Vista also has a power-conservation mode called sleep, similar to the "standby" and "hibernate" modes in previous versions of Windows. A spokesman for Gateway Inc. agreed that Microsoft's power conservation steps can make a difference in compensating for the extra hardware. "We've done extensive testing and we haven't seen [shortened battery life]," said Gateway spokeswoman Kelly Odle. "While it is true that Vista has higher system requirements than XP, it also has more sophisticated mechanisms to allow for power savings." Still, users who need to preserve battery life will face a tradeoff in giving up some of the most impressive new features, said Richard Shim, an analyst with IDC. "It's a common criticism that any new Windows OS will have a toll on battery life," Shim said. "If you look back at XP and Windows 98, it took a while for folks to learn how to optimize the hardware. And as the PC market continues to rely on notebooks to drive shipment growth, this will be a big thing." Notebook PC users can manage power by choosing to reduce the time it takes their processors and hard drives to switch into hibernation mode, turn off their sound and Wi-Fi, avoid running 10 applications at once, and turn down the brightness of their screens -- the one component that consumes more battery power than any other computer part, Shim said. Some hardware makers are also helping out, as they are striving to squeeze an extra 2 percent to 5 percent efficiency out of the chipset, graphics component and BIOS, Shim said. However, they face a limited power budget, since battery technology has not improved significantly in recent years, and PC vendors are unlikely to specify a larger cell, since that would add to the PC's size, weight and cost. "That can add up to savings, but it's not enough to overcome the fact that Vista is not battery-friendly," Shim said. Â

Intel&#39;s Classmate PC isn&#39;t just for students anymore. HCL Infosystems plans to sell a version of the Classmate PC to consumers and businesses in India who want a rugged, low-cost laptop.Priced at 13,990 rupees ($356), HCL&#39;s MiLeap X laptop uses the same beefy case as the Classmate PC. But HCL -- which&#160;signed an agreement with Intel&#160;last year to produce the Classmate PC -- insists there is very little in common between the two computers.&quot;It is a totally different product,&quot; said George Paul, executive vice president at HCL Infosystems.The specifications of the MiLeap X suggest otherwise. Both computers have a 7-inch LCD (liquid crystal display) screen with 800-pixel by 480-pixel resolution, a 900MHz Celeron M processor, Wi-Fi, and 2GB of flash memory for storage instead of a hard drive. They also use the same chip set, Intel&#39;s 915GMS.The main difference between the MiLeap X and the Classmate PC appears to be a minor aesthetic change: The MiLeap X&#39;s vinyl cover more closely resembles a business folio than the blue covers typically found on the Classmate PC. The MiLeap X also comes with HCL&#39;s logo emblazoned below the display.Paul acknowledged the MiLeap X can be considered a &quot;derivative&quot; of the Classmate PC since both computers use similar technologies, but said significant differences exist between the two products. He did not specify what those differences are.Nor Badron, an Intel spokesman, confirmed the MiLeap X is based on the Classmate PC.The basic Classmate PC systems are supplied by Intel and manufacturers such as HCL configure the computers and install software to meet the needs of their customers, Badron said, adding that Intel was &quot;extremely supportive&quot; of HCL&#39;s plans to develop a Classmate PC version for consumers and business users.The MiLeap X gives HCL a start in the low-cost laptop segment, where most computer makers have yet to release products. &quot;It&#39;s a quick and easy way of getting into that market,&quot; said Bryan Ma, director of personal systems research at IDC Asia-Pacific.The MiLeap X, which runs a version of the Linux operating system, will go on sale in India on Jan. 26.Developed in response to the&#160;One Laptop Per Child Project&#39;s low-cost laptop efforts, Classmate PC was designed for schools in developing countries. The computers were not originally meant to be sold to the general public, largely over fears within Intel that the low-cost laptops would cut into the company&#39;s gross margin.Last year, Taiwan&#39;s Asustek was the first to crack open the door for wider Classmate PC sales with the&#160;introduction of its Eee PC, which uses many of the same components. Intel expected Asustek to announce a version of the Classmate PC for education customers, but the Taiwanese hardware maker instead declared the Eee PC, which uses the same processor and components as the Classmate PC, would be sold to consumers.Intel has since embraced low-cost laptops as a product segment, despite continued resistance from some executives inside the company. The company&#39;s focus on that market will intensify later this year with the release of Silverthorne, a low-cost, energy efficient processor that will appear in a number of low-cost laptops currently under development.(John Ribeiro, in Bangalore, contributed to this report.)&#160;
