Ok thanks this is more informative. So in my scenario it sounds like the person working in the EU would likely incur charges for answering the phone if the US office number is forwarded to them. The callers would all be US based. The person in the EU has both a US cell and and EU cell, no...

what? No the owner of the US company wants the EU person to answer incoming calls, the company is driving this. Take your accusations elsewhere.

I'm still waiting to find out if it's a web based PBX. But I should have mentioned that the solution implemented needs to be switched off/on every day. For example the person sitting in the EU answers the incoming calls between X hours, other times the phone rings in the office and is answered...

Ok thanks i'll try to find out. The person in the EU is not part of the company, so they would have to either answer the call on their cell phone, or a landline; but preferably a web based service.

Sorry i don't know where to put this. I'm looking for suggestions for a solution whereby a small business located in USA, can forward their main number so that someone in the EU can answer. This would be a part-time scenario, so that the call forwarding can be turned off and on at will. The...

Hi this is a conceptual question here. On say a normal Windows Dell laptop, if you start a large file or folder copy while on a wireless network, and then mid-way through the copy connect the LAN cable... would you expect the copy speeds to increase? Presuming here that the LAN wired connection...

Sure, but how do i determine one manfucturers device over another since there may be wild variations in the efficiency of the component parts? Just pick a more efficient mCPU and screen size and hope the rest of the components are not "vampire" power consuming?

What i'm probably looking for, is a laptop that's capable of playing some modern games and doing digital art on, that is built with energy efficient components, and has an 8 cell battery.

Honestly it would be quite silly of someone to post a question: "My (desktop) computer pulls to much electricity, what can I do about it" on a Mobile Computing forum. The question is: Has anybody taken any output readings of their laptops of cumulative watts over the day? It would appear the...

What actually is your point posting on this thread? You seem to not see the forest for the trees. If you are trying to make the point that gaming laptops pull as much power as gaming desktops and therefore there is no power savings to be had in that swap, I haven't seen convincing evidence from...

Well that could be true, but where are the studies that demonstrate it? As a consumer we are in the dark about the cumulative power consumption on running benchmark tests on gaming desktops vs gaming desktops; gaming desktops vs gaming laptops; and gaming laptops vs gaming laptops. It would be...

And here http://smallbusiness.chron.com/laptop-vs-pc-power-consumption-79347.html

CNET Labs tested the energy consumption of a mix of desktops and laptops recently and found that a mainstream desktop, on average, uses roughly 100 watts when idle. Under heavy use, that number jumps to 145 watts. You can double those figures for a high-end gaming rig with dual graphics cards...

Why do you even care what my desktop is? The specifics are irrelevant to the discussion. This is the mobile computing forum. The discussion is: are there power consumption savings to be had with a gaming laptop vs a gaming desktop. Has anybody taken any output readings of their (gaming)...

Wow can you read? That WHAT I DID ALREADY on my desktop pc. I've love to see someone post their results using a gaming laptop
