Coming from a Sony I was a little disappointed with the Neo's boot time and the battery consumption in standby mode.
So last night I disabled automatic shutdown as well as automatic standby and just let the Neo lay switched on.
This morning (ca. 8 hours later) the battery had gone down one bar compared to two bars for a similar period in standby mode.
This was not a scientific experiment by any stretch of the imagination, but it seems that standby uses just as much if not more power than normal operating mode. This doesn't seem right to say the least ...
With switching of Wacom and other background service in standby mode there should be some potential for battery saving?
